Krishnan describes military applications of neuroscience research
and emerging neurotechnology with relevance to the conduct of armed
conflict and law enforcement. This work builds upon literature by
scholars such as Moreno and Giordano and fills an existing gap, not
only in terms of reviewing available and future neurotechnologies
and relevant applications, but by discussing how the military
pursuit of these technologies fits into the overall strategic
context. The first to sketch future neurowarfare by looking at its
potentials as well as its inherent limitations, this book's main
theme is how military neuroscience will enhance and possibly
transform both classical psychological operations and cyber
warfare. Its core argument is that nonlethal strategies and tactics
could become central to warfare in the first half of the
twenty-first century. This creates both humanitarian opportunities
in making war less bloody and burdensome as well as some
unprecedented threats and dangers in terms of preserving freedom of
thought and will in a coming age where minds can be manipulated
with great precision.
