Obama does something useful (SCIENCE!)

[quote]US President Barack Obama has unveiled a new initiative to map the brain. Speaking at the White House, he announced an initial $100m investment to shed light on how the brain works and provide insight into diseases such as Alzheimer's and epilepsy. President Obama said initiatives like the Human Genome Project had transformed genetics; now he wants to do the same with the brain. The project will be carried out by both public and private-sector scientists. The project is called Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies - or BRAIN. Mr Obama said: There is this enormous mystery waiting to be unlocked, and the BRAIN initiative will change that by giving scientists the tools they need to get a dynamic picture of the brain in action and better understand how we think and learn and remember. And that knowledge will be transformative."[/quote] Thoughts?

  • itt: people who think that science is completely irrelevant to medical $100m isn't that much to the government. Dunno why people's tits are getting so icy in this thread. Also, if the brain research actually takes off, we can kiss many brain diseases goodbye. You know, the thing that kind of controls all of what you do? Yeah, we need that.
