Defense Intelligence Reference Document Technological Approaches To Controlling

Defense Intelligence Agency · 36 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 23 March 2010, was produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It surveys invasive and noninvasive brain-machine interface technologies for controlling external devices without limb-operated interfaces. The technologies covered include EEG, MEG, fMRI, NIRS, and implanted electrode arrays. It concludes that noninvasive electrical monitoring is the most promising near-term approach. In the long term, it favors invasive single-neuron cortical connections that use optical stimulation or chip-based arrays.
