Abby Babby 3y 25 0 0 I think this is a really comprehensive report on this space! Nothing against the report itself, I think you did a great job. I'm pretty cynical about current brain imaging/BCI methods. + I don't think getting high quality structural images of the brain is useful from an EA perspective, though it has substantial medical benefits for the people who need brain scans/can afford to get them. This just doesn't strike me as one of the most effective cause areas, the same way a cure for Huntington's disease would be a wonderful thing, but might not qualify as a top EA cause area.
