This technique derives its strength from the Brain Simulator, the research tool that is able to see through the brain functions. It can produce precise measurements of the parameters that control brain behavior, that is, parameters that make the brain being the way it is, with results free from the interpretation errors associated with traditional imaging techniques.
If you are an honest person, this technique is for you. It can improve the quality of your work, as well, the general quality of your life. You can explore your brain, finding out the parameters responsible for the way you interact with the reality. There is no more need for you to live in the uncertainty of your work and in the darkness of your life.
Brain Simulation
Brain Simulation allows the analysis of your individuality, and of the changes imposed on it by the interactions caused by the proximity of other brains. It not only allows the analysis of your self, but also the analysis of your behavioral interactions within a group of persons. The model that is in use by the Brain Simulator make unnecessary the use of questionnaires to collect behavioral information about its users, as happens with the more traditional scientific methodology. Behind its application simplicity, there is a scientifically rigorous model that gives the new technique a very precise and dependable character.
The technique of Brain Simulation shows the complexities of the human behavior, as well all the factors that turns persons into a vulnerable brain state that predisposes them to the incidence of diseases. A person does not anymore need to waste an entire life to discover that its relationship didn't work. The biological quality of a relationship can now be checked before any involvement.
Executives that break off their companies, politicians that behave dishonestly, persons that could turn in potential killers or suicides, relational problems that usually destroy human relationships like alcoholism, violence against women and children, problems that affect children performance in school, existential problems like sexual orientation and gender expression, which complicate the individual life, can be detected with all security.
The possibilities of premature identification of risky conditions that potentially could induce a person into future problems, don't offer more risks than those that currently exist, but their knowledge permits corrective measures. Brain Simulation turns also possible, the development of quantitative standards for physiology, perception and subjectivity, which are indispensable to add confidence and reliability to scientific methodology.
Limitations of Science
Science founds itself on experimental facts. Physical phenomena nevertheless develop according to their specific realities, with their own action mechanisms, in a way that does not depend on what scientists used to think about them. Fortunately for everyone, the universe takes no heed of such personal interpretations.
In an article published in September 1979, Sir Francis Crick, the English biophysicist awarded with the Nobel Prize in 1962 for the discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA molecules, then starting himself in the neurological research, said: "what appears to be needed for understanding how brain works are new techniques for examining it and new ways of thinking about it... if a breakthrough does come, it is perhaps likely to be at the level of the overall control of the system..."

Now, twenty years after that affirmation, and about to end the most important American brain research effort, everyone can see that almost nothing was discovered about the functional mechanisms of the brain.
The incapacity showed by science concerning the comprehension of the brain, results from the fact that the brain is, as the object under investigation, in the same scale of complexity of the instrument used to its investigation, the brain itself. No one brain researcher can guarantee for its brain the basic conditions that will turn the brain an impartial referential for the analysis of itself, nor skip the limitation imposed by the Gl's theorem.
If you try to analyze your brain, using it to interpret your impressions, for instance to comprehend why you appear to be an indecisive person, you can learn that the results are affected by the way your brain interprets these impressions. This form of interpretation is biologically defined and doesn't depend of your choices, nor of you had learned. Even wanting to believe that your ideas are correct, your brain cannot guarantee that.
The orthodoxy of the neurosciences is another factor that has been collaborating to the ignorance concerning the brain mechanisms. The classical view of the brain with the mental processes basically associated to electrochemical components, yet accepted by most of the neuroscientists, are entirely out of question.
A fact that also inhibits the scientific efforts to comprehend the brain is the generically accepted principle that the human physiology is equivalent to all the organisms. Although the living organisms are not fully equivalent, as seen from the diversity of degrees to which they reject transplantations, science is not doing an effective effort to comprehend their causes, restricting itself to develop drugs that limit the rejection effects.
The utilization of sophisticated techniques, like the Positron Emission Tomography for imaging the cerebral activity and the Magnetic Resonance, for imaging the anatomy of the brain, per si does not guaranty to neuroscientists the quality of their researching, because they not only depend of the physiology of the brain, but principally of the physiological equivalence among the brains, as objects of study.
MRI studies, conducted at the School of Medicine of the University of Yale, published in the February of 1995 issue of the Nature magazine, claim for the existence of natural organizational differences between the brains of women and men, which would be responsible for women being more symbolic than men and for men being more active than women. The traditional idea that women are more symbolic than men and men more active than women, is biologically wrong.
Scientifically, the brain of a man cannot be compared to the brain of a woman, without the guaranties that these brains are physiologically equivalent, that is, assuring that they work in the same way. Without the establishing of the physiological equivalence among the brains used in the experiments, their results become scientifically inconclusive.
Science never considered the role of subjectivity. Their influence is invariably negated although their results have been always stamped with the personality of the researchers, in the planning of the experiments, in the interpretation of the results. When the question in not thrown in the common grave of the genetic inheritance, it is more comfortable to believe of it, as a failure in the formation of the individual's character.
The incapacity of the science to control the subjectivity, has led the researchers to an excessive obsession by the scientific method, so that loosely controllable phenomena have been left aside. If a person is indecisive for instance, it is immediately labeled indecisive. It appears not to exist from the part of science whatever interest in trying to look for a biological cause for the person's indecisiveness.
This extrapolates the use of the brain as an instrument to the analysis of itself, because it compromises the scientific method, the fundamental mechanisms of scientific research, for independently of the controls that can exist over some experiment, nothing could be said about the interpretation that develops in the brain of the researcher.
Researchers with the same academic background, always present a great spread in the manner they relate to nature. As a classical example, we have the distinct interpretations of the quantum reality, as were proposed by physicists Albert Einstein and Nils Bohr. We see the absolute necessity that subjectivity is incorporated into the scientific method.
