Also a reward/punishment sistem is inplaced to promote that programed behaviour. There is a general directive to do what you like and to avoid doing what you don't like. The basic feelings/emotions are common among many spaces . They are just manifestation of instincts. Humans have just one unique advantage - logical thinking. So better use that logic , because now people induce additional chaos in the Ecosystem and Life is all about self organization and order, emerging from the chaos.

Mind, feelings and emotions are a manifestation of patterns in matter. Essentially, the mind is the brain. This idea of duality is wrong, there is no boundary between mind and matter. New gadgets add more useful tools to enhance out ability to probe, thus allowing humanity to better understand.

When this approach intersects mind - feelings and emotions what we get is a fog, not penetrable by science. Science has limitations when mind excels and exceeds in its vastness. Until we figure out the boundary of mind and matter, new gadgets only add to our baggage. Medical applications, may be. Transcendence ?This is strictly my opinion.
