Yep. The original paper included this... “This work was funded by Drexel College of Arts and Sciences and NSF grants IBN 0347315 and IOS 0923680.”
In this case, I approve, within reason. I mean, it’s not worth a trillion dollars. But discovering that brains can anticipate the need for greater capability, then respond in a way that produces that new capability is pretty amazing, and worth knowing, imho!

although, as I have hanging on my office wall sign,
“And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.”
(Eccles. 12:12)
