Perhaps this could be the methylene blue area that describes apparently new methylene blue ideas, which may be applied to other pharmaceuticals than methylene blue.
I read about a peer reviewed published study that suggests that parts of the brain come up with an activity plan or cause of action as much as 10 senconds prior to a persons narrative being thinks it had a preference. http://arstechnica.c...fore-awareness/ One of those brain areas is the precuneus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precuneus which also is a center of spatial memory pattern recognition That is the particular ability areas that methylene blue causes rodents to more than double their functional capacity. This brings up the possibility of nootropics that either increase the amount of preconscious prewill data processing prior to a scientifically measured activity or cause the conscious form of being to precede the rest of the brain at data processing at voluntary activities as scientifically measurable.
methylene blue or some other pharmaceutical could be constructed to lots more preconscious activity research as well as direction, or the narrative sentient being could be adjusted to be the chronologically first cause of action.
so what is the difference? do the people have different behaviors? is there a brain activity allocating pharmaceutical that produces higher quality activities? Could doubt be refunctionalized as a pause then loop until better data effect? Will the phrase "ummmm" become virtuous as it means "my brain is figuring it out"?
The other nootropic that I have read about as more than doubling spatial memory is magnesium threonate. so if a person is voluntarily using the rather mild sounding Mg threonate with methylene blue, does their precuneus which apparently constructs then initiates action 10 seconds prior to consciousness, have notably modified fMRI effects, suggesting amplified preconscious initiative? Mg threonate is apparently calming.
I strongly favor the development of truth detection technologies. Noting that the precuneus strongly precedes cognitive awareness of "personally apparent sentience" purpose, thus possibly cognitive awareness of concern, could mapping the precuneus action preference be mapping the truth. Lets say a scientist gives a group of people each a $100 note. Then the scientist says you can keep the money if you always tell the truth, unledd the $100 has an even number on it. Then the participants respond to a variety of questions on a computer screen asking them things about the $100 note. At the list of questions, among some of the participants, they are asked if it has an even number. The precuneus apparently is able to pick a particular thing to click on 10 seconds prior to sentient awareness. Does the precuneus always tell the truth or does it veer towards misinforming the computer application. Then at round II the researcher says to the people "well, we are researching honesty If any of you did anything at variance with the truth when using the computer program, tell us now n you can keep the money as well as revisit to do the same rather lucrative process again." (which could be true, the more data they have the better). The $200 motivator could cause greater truthfulness.
Variations on that experiment could be used to find pharmaceuticals that cause truthfulness or candor. From a social perspective then the genetics of the proteins of those parts of the brain could be improved to function as if they had been optimally dosed with methylene blue or Mg threonate thus creating a genetic basis of higher human honesty.
