Yes, this allows us neuroscientists to then go on to do more interesting things like design systems to control robotic limbs, but it also enables us to ask interesting questions such as how does experience/learning effect the behaviour of these bits of brain.
One end point of this (amongst others) is to figure out how the brain works enough that we can duplicate useful techniques for use with artificial intelligence.
As some scholar already pointed out, I doubt that your approach works at all. For example, if I give you an excellent scope that detects every electro-magnetic activities of a personal computer, can you build(or design) a personal computer from such data of electro-magnetic activities? A human brain is some orders of magnitude more complex than a personal computer. I bet that you can't figure out a personal computer with such an approach. Your neuro-science approach can't work.
