This article touches on several topics related to CNS interventions, including neural enhancement drugs, court-ordered CNS intervention and "brain reading". I have personally never heard of (or thought of, for that matter) the idea of court-ordered CNS intervention so I found this topic to be particularly interesting. The author uses the example of SSRI's to reduce violent behavior. Do you think this practice infringes too much on a person's ability to think one's own thoughts? Could this treatment be more/less useful than anger management classes? Who would be responsible for paying for the medications?
