Researchers want to know what they’re saying to your brain and how

Human behavior is something every industry wants to understand and even predict. How human behavior affects space usage, marketing, buying behavior? How do different circumstances affect the change in that behavior?

Factors that influence human behavior

Interpersonal factors

Institutional factors

Community factors

Public policy

I was reading a very interesting article recently ( The article ) and the research was very interesting. Stating;

The influence of our microbial community doesn’t stop there. Studies have shown that our microbiome may play a role in mental health and neurological conditions such as autism, epilepsy, and depression by interacting with our nervous system and even releasing molecules that can perhaps make their way to the brain. More research and trials are needed to understand how the gut and the brain are linked, but researchers suggest that their findings might one day lead to treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.

The research brings a lot of additional questions regarding how to predict human behavior, or can we predict and influence the behavior with some microbes? It has been thought that some biomedical developments can affect human judgment and behavior and are developed as such.

Above all, be skeptical of anything that’s presented as a universal remedy.
