I don't believe that's a necessary prerequisite.

We could use DNA to produce a living computer without ever knowing
how the brain portion of the DNA works.  Or, we could effect similar
functionality as the human mind in silicon without knowing fully how
the human mind works.  In either case, we don't need to know how the
human mind works.
