I'd like to trace the contours for what I see as the two main goals for our group for now (I'm leaving the definition of group membership purposefully vague).  I first suggest organizing a conference or track in a larger conference as an immediate concrete objective.  This is directed towards a more long-term goal of developing a community with a certain view towards understanding human improvement.  Specifically, that view would seek to incorporate what we know from behavioral and biological studies of humans and other animals, as well as practical knowlege gained from working with students, patients and others.

More soon...
