Art, I have to disagree with your opening premise, that we have all of the tools necessary to investigate the mind. One can not effectively study someting with the very same thing. We will never get a complete understanding of our minds, as long as we are in the same context as our minds.
I would go farther and state that computers and other tools we create were created by our minds, and couldn't look at the problem from outside the context. Perhaps an alien encounter could help, but then we are back to the alien mind translating its knowledge back into a form understandable to our minds, which would likely lose significance.
