Human Assisted Neural Devices
Abstract
(U) The Human Assisted Neural Devices program will develop the scientific foundation for understanding the language of the brain for application to a variety of emerging DoD challenges, including improving performance on the battlefield and returning active duty military to their units. This will require an understanding of neuroscience, significant computational efforts, and new material design and implementation. Key advances expected from this research include determining the nature and means through which short-term memory is encoded, and discovering the mechanisms and dynamics underlying neural computation and reorganization. These revolutionary advances will enable memory restoration through the use of devices programmed to bridge gaps in the injured brain. Further, modeling of the brain progresses to an unprecedented level with this novel approach.
