If you neurohack, presumably you want to move yourself towards more correspondence with reality.
Correspondence with reality is a subgoal of many other goals, but it is not the only purpose neurohacking can serve. The claustrophobe knows they are perfectly safe in small spaces; they still want to leave them.
EDIT: A better example, courtesy of NancyLebovitz.
That depends on what you mean by 'know'. It's one thing to know something on a verbal level, and another to have your whole nervous system believe it.
Do you think Alicorn's polyhacking would be a better example? I don't really know that many good examples of neurohacking.
I think so, but it's been a while since I've read it. Her work on being happier would definitely qualify.
I've seen claims that cognitive psychology has the effect of calming the over-excitable part of the brain in people with OCD.
Excellent, thanks.
Or you simply want to propagate something that seems important throughout your belief network (e.g. a moral injunction against too-convenient dubious actions), or move your values towards reflective equilibrium.
