Atlantium··on It’s Complicated: Unraveling the mystery of why people act as they do
The human brain's electro-chemical makeup and its response to stimulus, both from the other organs and through the external sensory organs, are the reasons we act the way we do. Like the Human Genome project before it, this mystery can be solved with large amounts of personnel, money and time. Do not complain that it's complex (it is, we know, the sooner we commit the appropriate resources the sooner we'll be finished). [And yes, I am doing something about it - I'm a returned to school STEM-neuro student]

I believe that as long as this technology is 'open' most of the fears surrounding its use can be mitigated.
