Imaging or Imagining? pictures can improve informed consent, while at the same time opening up the possibility of greater coercion. They can help in explaining complex diagnosis and procedures but also may be used to unduly manipulate patients into proceeding with a risky surgery. Finally, these data are often presented as parts of isolated neural circuits. There is little understanding of how various brain circuits interface and the implications for how changes in one circuit affect other non-targeted aspects of behavior, such as aspects of personality and social behavior. Our knowledge of brain-behavior relationships as demonstrated via functional neuroimaging methodologies is still very crude. Consequently, any informed consent process that involves functional neurosurgery must include an acknowledgment of what we do not know as well as what we know. This is particularly true for behaviors that define us in relation to ourselves and to others. Functional neurosurgery has the potential to alter a Self/Person both in self-understanding and in being understood by a social network.
