According to James T. Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century, Space is the final frontier. According to some scientists in the 21st century, the final frontier of science is the inner space of the human mind itself. While this may be the case, it is likely a reflection of the advent of technology that has been made available in recent years. Neuropsychology undoubtably is challenging this frontier of science, but I believe it is more indicative of a fundamental basis for the human mind. One cannot infer behaviour without an understanding of where it comes from. While a swirl of exciting and novel techniques have steadily been consuming the focus of neuroscientific research, one must not lose sight that this is science in its most basic form, we are just now being allowed to see it.
