Technology...strange

So I was reading a story about technology on ZDNet.com and I came across this little paragraph:

"Nobody knows how the brain works, although there's lots of fascinating work being done in cognitive neuroscience--last week, researchers at the University of Rochester announced that adult ferrets used 80 percent of their brain's processing power to think about things after being shown clips from The Matrix. Nobody knows what this means (although the figures may be substantially lower for the sequels), but the fact remains that we are developing some very powerful tools to peer into the workings of mind."
