   360 Lurie has shown in \cite[Theorem 3.8.6]{0911.0018} that the topological chiral homology of an $n$-manifold $M$ with coefficients in a certain $E_n$ algebra constructed from $T$ recovers  the same space of singular chains on maps from $M$ to $T$, with the additional hypothesis that $T$ is $n-1$-connected. This extra hypothesis is not surprising, in view of the idea described in Example \ref{ex:e-n-alg} that an $E_n$ algebra is roughly equivalent data to an $A_\infty$ $n$-category which is trivial at all but the topmost level. Ricardo Andrade also told us about a similar result.
