It Works for the Air Force http://keyj.com/electricity-brain-learning-air-force/ http://keyj.com/electricity-brain-learning-air-force/#comments Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:44:33 +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.
