NeuroScience - watching your brain at work.

Neuroscience is on a steep research learning scan with Functional Imaging, watching the brain at work in real time to see what's going on where in the brain when we are thinking or reacting to situations.
There are moves to have such results 'analysed' and presented in a court as evidence.
But there are greater dangers ahead.
Nanotechnology is developing targeted treatments for a whole host of diseases and conditions.
It is feasibly possible that behaviour modifying treatments  - including DNA engineered nanoparticles that can target specified parts of the brain to modify 'abnormal' reactions will be developed in the near future. Treatments for epilepsy, Parkinsons and paralysis are already being explored.
