This: "Computational psychiatry has suddenly made it possible to mine data from long-standing observations and link it to mathematical theories of cognition. It’s also become possible to develop computer-based experiments that carefully control environments so that specific behaviors can be studied in detail."

Yes, I think the main point here is that technology is allowing experiments to be conducted under controlled environments, which is hard to do in real life.
