US Army lab develops a way to read soldiers’ brains
Military intelligence analysts spend a lot of time scrutinizing countless images from various sources, such as drones and surveillance systems. An automated program developed by cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Anthony Ries, however, can make the process a lot faster. Ries works for a US Army research facility called the “The MIND (Mission Impact Through Neurotechnology Design) Lab,” which has just began testing a program that can interpret brain waves. In simpler words: it can read human minds. During a recent test, he hooked up a soldier to an EEG connected to one of the lab’s desktop computers and asked him to look at a series of images on screen flashing at a rate of one per second. Each image falls under one of five categories — boats, pandas, strawberries, butterflies and chandeliers.
