Enhancing Neuroplasticity
Abstract
The DoD needs tools to rapidly and effectively train military personnel in multifaceted and complex tasks. The Enhancing Neuroplasticity program is exploring and developing peripheral nerve stimulation methods and non-invasive devices to promote synaptic plasticity for improved learning paradigms. Key advances anticipated from this research will both create an anatomical and functional map of the underlying biological circuitry that mediates plasticity and optimize stimulation and training protocols to enable long-term retention for military personnel. Once successfully identified, the underlying mechanisms of targeted plasticity training can be applied to a broad range of cognitive skill training within the DoD, including foreign language learning, or data and intelligence analysis.
