No, not really. They can do this on Star Trek, but it's not possible with current technology to tell what the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain are. About all you can do is observe a person's reactions to a drug that is known to be associated with a particular neurotransmitter--for instance, Prozac is associated with serotonin--and go from there.
