Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

I am curious how that conclusion was formed as we have only recently discovered many new types of functional brain cells.

While I am not saying this is the case, that statement sounds like it was based on the "we only use 10% of our brain" myth, so that is why I am trying to get clarification.
