Predicting Human Behavior Without Altering the Brain
A discussion around the accuracy required to make predictions of an individual's behavior without fundamentally altering their brain, and the potential for chaos in the behavior of sodium ion channels to impede predictive accuracy.

Summary
The question of how well one can predict human behavior consistent with the laws of physics without causing damage remains a philosophical and scientific puzzle. With identifying smaller sub questions that capture people’s first questions and answering them, researchers hope to solve this mystery.

Summary
Can we build a model accurate enough to predict a human's future behavior? Even quantum mechanics says that at best we could predict the probabilities that someone would choose one action over another.
