What reaction do you anticipate?

"Really? Awesome! Let's get right on that." (ref. early Eliezer)

Alternatively: "<distracted> Hmm? Yes, that's interesting... it doesn't apply to my current grant / paper, so... <insert topics from current grant / paper>."

I didn't expect that you would anticipate that. What I anticipate is outright ridicule of such ideas outside of science fiction novels. At least for most neuroscientists.

Sure, that too.
