Here's a thought:  Why are biometrics experiments always used to place
people into calm states?  Why not get people excited, or move people
into different states by "peeling the layers back".  It also seems so
very polar, excited<->calm.  What about all the other states of mind?  I
can't imagine that biofeedback systems are as limited as they were in
the 60s and 70s to where they can only read this one state?

I don't know why it bothers me, but it does seem to me that there are a
lot of these experiments going on and they are all geared toward calming
people down.  Sometimes pissed off and tense is the way to be.  Harness
that energy...
