"Our ability to analyse and an in essence quantify neurological activity has advanced more in the last 5 years than in the previous 50. Such data allows us to better diagnose, understand and ultimately treat each individual's uniquely personal condition."

"The nature of memory, or more specifically, its elusive and sometimes entirely subjective nature, has been at the heart of my own neurological research."

"Over the last century, countless studies into the use of techniques such as Hypnotherapy and NLP have clearly demonstrated that the human mind is an extremely malleable and fragile thing."

"Cognitive neuro-interfacing isn't just science-fiction. We're fast approaching a reality that even allow us to remove specific memories of severe psychological trauma, with the same surgical precision with which we remove any physiological anomaly."
— Research audio #5
"As in any ground-breaking research, our greatest barrier is our own fear! Our own doubts... The only thing holding us back, is how far we are willing to go."
— Research audio #6
"Should the international community refuse to endorse the use of human trials in any form? Heh. I have little doubt that we will once again see scientific progress fall under the control of unscrupulous regimes and individuals for their own uncertain goals. This would be a tragic. "
