Excellent student project for philosophy of science

Recently in computational neuroscience mailing list (comp-neuro), renowned scholars started discussion of why neuroscience is not advancing as much as we put money, time and effort to the field. Many interesting discussions regarding the nature of biological science compared to physical science, and Kolmogorov complexity complete systems, realistic vs simple models for understanding, reproducibility of experiments and so on are all over the place.
It would be a nice class project or even a preliminary topic for a thesis to analyze these hot discussions! Any volunteers?
