Are there currently any notiable experiments or tests being conducted on determining human behavior?

A lot. Too many to list here.
See www.apa.org or www.psychologicalscience.org for a brief overview, update.
If you have access to an academic library, you can check PsychInfo. There are about 70,000 new papers in Psychology each year.

Oh geez, there are millions of experiments going on concerning human behavior right now. It is an ongoing process, there is so much we don't fully understand. Specifically however, nothing comes to mind. Go check out the website below, you can type in a search word that interests you and it will pull up journal entries and articles that apply. The site is for The American Psychological Association

Yes! There's actually a new area of research called evolutionary psychology. It does studies that look at instinctual behaviors (e.g. mate selection, territorial studies), and look at behaviors that both humans and animals share.
There are always advances in neuro psych (aka bio psychology) in behavior.
If you think of psychology as an umbrella there are many subdivisions below it that look at specific behaviors. There's always new research being done. B/c your question didn't ask about specific behaviors I can't give you any specific research studies or articles. However, if you don't have access to Ebscho or APA research I'd recommend using www.scholar.google.com and searching whatever you're interested in. Google scholar only shoots out scholarly publishing's (so you won't get everyday, unprofessional websites) and can go from there!

I'm out of the academic loop, but I believe that the marriage of Quantum Physics and classic Psychology has engendered some interesting thought material. I particularly love "energy psychology" such as Emotional Freedom Technique developed by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer. If you want to know more about EFT, you can download the free "Get Started Package" at http://tinyurl.com/yh5zhu or if you want to dive in right away by purchasing the inexpensive instructional DVDs click here>> http://tinyurl.com/ycwle8 Read the testimonials on this site and you will know how effective this energy therapy is.
All the best!

What? You want me to inform you of a psychiatric best practice just so you can denounce it?
You've already warped psychiatry to suggest it is driven by political correctness when they declared homosexuality to no longer be an illness, so why this question? Trying to set yourself up as a new-age guru to justify your bias?
Oh, and you can report me. Points are meaningless to me and mean nothing.

The future of Psycholgy is ongoing-infinite as long as it is disputable. The human brain is huge and we have only just begun.
