# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Logs

• A user inquired about obtaining affordable CT head scans for neuromodulation purposes, with dental colleges suggested as a potential option, though medical justification would be required due to radiation exposure concerns.

• The discussion clarified the distinction between 2D dental X-rays and 3D computed tomography (CT) scanning, noting that the latter requires specialized table-based equipment.

• A research paper on "noninvasive transskull adaptive focusing based on prior computed tomography scans" was shared, suggesting potential applications for non-invasive neuromodulation techniques.

• There was a brief technical assessment of the Ion Proton DNA sequencing platform, with one participant suggesting it had some utility despite apparent limitations.

• A science fiction film (likely "The Machine" from 2013) was shared and discussed in terms of its portrayal of technology, with commentary on the blurred line between fictional depiction and technological reality.
