WASHINGTON — President Obama thinks that its vital that the establishment know how the human brain thinks, functions and communicates — and that this great knowledge will somehow help stimulate jobs in America. In fact the president said that it will be “the next great American project”.
CBS reported, “The research could lead to new ways to treat brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy or traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, Mr. Obama said, it could lead to millions of Americans with “jobs we haven’t even dreamt up yet.” The president pointed to technological advancements that were propelled with government investments — like GPS and the Internet — to illustrate the importance of basic research investments.”
