response are problematic, but missing a critical signal for The recent breakthroughs in neuroimaging and other response can result in injury and fatalities not just for the technologies described in Chapters 2 through 5 allow quan- soldier but also for the immediate unit or even beyond. Thus, tifying the physiological metrics of human attentiveness, finding ways to extend attentiveness could have a significant cognitive performance, and neural functioning.

In the modern Army environment, such contexts In addition to measuring blood flow and blood oxygenation, typically involve surging information loads on individuals which are indirect indicators of neural functioning, event- who must process all the relevant information quickly and related potentials may be another way to learn when an appropriately to avoid the twin performance faults: failure individual has missed a critical signal. As discussed in the to respond or incorrect response.

In fact, most tasks in which humans perform knowledgeintensive work in conjunction with a complex information management and computational system could probably be Specificity of Brain Signals as Control Inputs to a improved by better diagnostic representations of the state Brain–Machine Interface of the human operator. Ultimately, the question becomes how action is integrated within the brain itself.
