Army merges AI and human brain to track and attack targets

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Under heavy enemy fire, a dismounted squad of soldiers encounters incoming sniper fire from a building and rapid movements behind certain windows, when a nearby drone is instantly and automatically tasked with quickly surveilling the area before aggregating data and propagating live-saving, combat-sensitive information directly back to commanders and soldiers. How could it be possible, in a nearly instantaneous fashion, to circumvent or avoid otherwise time-consuming communications channels and procedural impediments to the immediate tasking of an attack drone? One answer, now being explored in cutting edge research by scientists with the Army Research Laboratory, is to measure, process, analyze and transmit electrochemical signals from the human brain.
