It Works for the Air Force http://wibx950.com/electricity-brain-learning-air-force/ http://wibx950.com/electricity-brain-learning-air-force/#comments Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:03:33 +0000 Shauna Wright http://tsminteractive.com/?p=62881 One of the toughest things to teach Air Force pilots who guide unmanned attack drones is how to accurately spot targets in complex radar images. Researchers, however, have found a way to cut that lengthy training time in half.

Delivering a mild electrical current to pilots’ brains through EEG electrodes placed on the scalp — a process called transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) — can accelerate learning and improve pilot accuracy. In addition, that accuracy is sustained for up to 40 minutes, whereas it otherwise typically declines after 20 minutes.

Unless you live in Utah, and then you really have nothing to worry about, according to new data released this week.
