      If my way of detecting brain activity works then I would love to see it be used for preclinical testing of new drugs (before human or animal trials) or as a way of modelling how diseases that affect the brain like Alzheimers develop and find ways of treating them.

      Hopefully, it will help us understand better how cancer starts and develops, and will lead to better ways of preventing, detecting and/or treating cancer.
