DARPA NESD developing high bandwidth implantable neural interfaces for controlling machines with brain and mind control of soldiers

January 16, 2018 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on DARPA NESD developing high bandwidth implantable neural interfaces for controlling machines with brain and mind control of soldiers

Neural interfaces currently approved for human use squeeze a tremendous amount of information through just 100 channels, with each channel aggregating signals from tens of thousands of neurons at a time. The result is noisy and imprecise. DARPA announced NESD in January 2016 with aim to develop to develop an implantable …

DARPA TNT through activation of peripheral nerves speeds up learning by 40% , enable soldiers analyzing intelligence and cryptography techniques

December 20, 2017 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on DARPA TNT through activation of peripheral nerves speeds up learning by 40% , enable soldiers analyzing intelligence and cryptography techniques

In March 2016, DARPA launched the Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) program, that seeks to advance the pace and effectiveness of a specific kind of learning—cognitive skills training—through the precise activation of peripheral nerves that can in turn promote and strengthen neuronal connections in the brain. TNT will pursue development of …

New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions

October 27, 2017 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Human & Soldier Systems Comments Off on New technologies being developed to detect and predict cognitive stress that can result in failure of military Missions

Soldiers often have to perform complex tasks in extreme conditions, sometimes approaching or exceeding the limits of their capabilities. Some of the missions the soldiers perform can take weeks, away from in difficult terrain like deserts and mountains which requires maintaining an incredibly high level of physical fitness. Around the …
