    ??? There’s like seventy different ways this could be useful. You can tell if a drug is absorbed by the right parts of the brain, how long a drug stays in neural tissue, and just have a better result for the same kinds of tests you would get from neural tissue testing.

    What’s more suspect is that this is an ai tech startup.

      With our research on disembodied human brains and the impacts of various psychoactive chemicals on its functioning, we’ve trained a neural-network that can help us align our AI models in such a way that induce similar levels of psychoactivity simply through active engagement with our large language models.
