This guy is awesome. I am inspired just by his history alone. A guy going from a kick-ass job as a record producer for the Grateful Dead to a freaking neuroscientist. I can't even fathom that transition.

Now, we're beginning to understand all these little functions of the human mind and the more we learn the more we can begin to advance and the more we'll be able to achieve (both, good and bad).
