Namaste.
I've been working as the systems administrator at the Neurodevelopment Center in Providence, RI. We're a psychological clinic focusing on using EEG-controlled neurofeedback to treat a whole bunch of psychiatric disorders, mostly things on the autistic spectrum and various forms of ADHD. The technology is still very new, and probably not quite as effective as one could hope, but we still get very good results - around 70% of our clients show significant improvement.
Brain-Machine interfaces will thoroughly revolutionize the way think about psychiatry. Of course, the big pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, so expect to here a lot from detractors and skeptics in the years to come.
