The most advanced thing about Human brains is how they think about thinking, the self-referencing thoughts, like how you can list 5 things that are more green and smaller than what you talked about for the last minute, or how you can answer the question "What did you just say?"
It is much more effective to research self-referencing thoughts. For example, if you have a few of the expensive machines that show a realtime video of electricity moving through a brain (or more advanced, a "functional MRI" which gives 2 3d images, 1 from blood flow and the other from electricity), then you could do these experiments, and do calculus derivatives between things. If you do not have such brain-scanning devices, then similar experiments (with more than 1 person) can be done by replacing "video" with "mouse left/right speed" and replacing the person's available actions with "mouse up/down speed", where the person moves a mouse and watches other people's mouse movements (speed would work better than position), instead of watching videos of peoples' brains. Its a similar idea, but less direct, and can also be used to learn about brains. Experiments:
* Person watches a video of their own brainwaves in realtime.
* 2 people watch a video of the brainwaves of the other person in realtime.
* 3 people watch a video of the average of the 2 brainwave videos of the other 2 people in realtime, averaging by 3d position in each brain, not by pixel location on the screen.
* Any of the above experiments, but with small changes made to the video of brainwaves to see how the people react to it. Do they notice the video is not accurately their own brainwaves for the last few seconds? If they notice, then the statistics the software learned from previous similar brainwaves, will less accurately predict their next brainwaves. This way, you can figure out what brainwaves look like when people are surprised in many ways.
* How does the game of poker (where the players use deceptive body-language when they are bluffing and have very good or very bad cards) change when all players can see a realtime video of the brainwaves of all the other players? Poker face? How about a poker brainwave?
* Play a game where people try to identify the other people by their brainwaves, without seeing those other people, but seeing all players' brainwaves at all times. Play many rounds of this game, each time telling everybody's name after the names are predicted. After the players get good at the game, tell each player which other player they are supposed to pretend to be, continue to play the game, and score a player higher if other players say he is the player he is pretending to be. Can people choose to change their brainwaves to be more like somebody elses brainwaves?
Those are the kinds of experiments that should be done to learn about brains. The information in that picture from NewScientist magazine is about 1000 times less advanced than what would be learned from the experiments I suggested.

Anyone have any thoughts on "binaural beats"? Can you really alter your brainwave patterns to perhaps aid yourself in some way?
