I also think it's very important - for us arelgious folk, the makeup of our brains drives everything including these very words I type. People often say when interviewing people for a job "I like the thought process of this person" and while yeah, you may be able to get a gut sense, you can also master it down to a science. Tightly intertwined with neuroscience is learning - how one learns best, how one processes visual and auditory information, etc. While sports performance enhancing drugs may be getting all the attention, my bet is that neurofeedback tests are going to be more controversial. What happens when someone can go down the street, pay a few hundred bucks, get hooked up to a neurofeedback machine, and see within a matter of hours EXACTLY how they process information, humor, etc.? btw, Donna Dubinsky is one of the most impressive speakers and businesspeople i've seen. She beams with authenticity and is also drop dead funny.
