Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies, from the
National Research Council, identifies and explores several specific
research areas that have implications for U.S. national security,
and should therefore be monitored consistently by the intelligence
community. These areas include: neurophysiological advances in
detecting and measuring indicators of psychological states and
intentions of individuals the development of drugs or technologies
that can alter human physical or cognitive abilities advances in
real-time brain imaging breakthroughs in high-performance computing
and neuronal modeling that could allow researchers to develop
systems which mimic functions of the human brain, particularly the
ability to organize disparate forms of data. As these fields
continue to grow, it will be imperative that the intelligence
community be able to identify scientific advances relevant to
national security when they occur. To do so will require adequate
funding, intelligence analysts with advanced training in science
and technology, and increased collaboration with the scientific
community, particularly academia. A key tool for the intelligence
community, this book will also be a useful resource for the health
industry, the military, and others with a vested interest in
technologies such as brain imaging and cognitive or physical
enhancers. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 The Big
