BrainCam

Meet the military's new Luke Skywalker Binoculars. (That's apparently the DARPA codename for the program):

Think of CT2WS as binoculars on steroids. The system is comprised of a high-powered video camera, mounted to a tripod, that boasts a 120-degree field of vision. That camera works in tandem with an electroencephalogram (EEG) cap, worn on a soldier’s head, that actually monitors brain signals in real-time and then transmits them to a computer system. That system is programmed with “cognitive visual processing algorithms” that can crunch the deluge of brainwave data, and “cue” noteworthy images for an operator to look over.

Using the system, a soldier scanning a given region would be “shown approximately ten images per second, on average.” Instead of having to process potential threats oneself, the soldier (and an operator reviewing key images) would instead rely on subtle brain signals — picked up by the EEG cap — to hone [sic] in on hazards. The EEG data, according to DARPA, can enhance accuracy and hasten the rate at which threats are detected, by spotting them inside the brain before a soldier has even processed the situation.

Futility of resistance and all that... You know the tune.
