I don't know much about the tech, but I'm curious if neural networks and/or machine learning is used to process data and find connections, correlations, or...cool stuff like that? I just think machine learning is neat man, and bio tech is also very neat. The two together....super neat...haha.

I know the example they put out, a horror game that responds to your fears by reading the data you produce. Is the tech actually at a point were a dedicated team can accurately and consistently identify bio markers correlated with a fear response? Or diffrentiate between fear, anger, happiness, etc?

Has there been any research into using this tech effectively to treat anxiety/depression? Really interested in this focus once "writing" information is possible, especially with more severe mental health issues that aren't related to physical brain deterioration. But it seems (per your comments) that that's still a ways a way, haha. Would be really cool to be able to see a psychatrist and have them treat my anxiety with a few bip bops from an industrial headset, or go home with a prescription program to run once a day, that just sounds like science fiction.
