I dont think we will see a fully simulated brain in our life time
Depends which brain. There are some people I know I suspect you could simulate with a potato and a few wires.

Do you think there will be

I know you mean human brain, but the point is that the principles largely exist and the progress is accelerating.

Simulating just the brain has limited benefits and will not likely simulate a person or consciousness any more than simulating small pieces of a brain.
