Commandos Now Play Digital Brain Games as War Prep

Commandos Now Play Digital Brain Games as War Prep | Danger Room | Wired.com "The system, called ‘NeuroTracker,’ was designed by CogniSens, a company spun out of the neurophysics lab of Dr. Jocelyn Faubert, a researcher at Canada’s University of Montreal. NeuroTracker has until now been deployed almost exclusively for athletic training: It’s used by several teams in the NFL and NHL, as well as at Olympic training centers in a handful of European countries.

Now commandos are going to get the NeuroTracker treatment as well. According to an announcement released last week, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) plans to purchase the NeuroTracker system in an effort to ‘improve situational awareness, multiple target tracking and decision-making efficiency’ among operatives."
