Task 4 of the statement of task asks the committee to "determine trends in research and Trend 1: Discovering AND VALIDATINg commercial development of neuroscience technologies that bIOMARKERS OF neural stateS LINKED TO are likely to be of importance to the Army in the longer term." SOLDIERS' PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES Important long-term trends in technology development were discussed in Chapter 7, along with specific technology oppor As discussed in Chapters 3 through 6, the cognitive and tunities evaluated by the committee. This chapter presents behavioral performance of soldiers in many areas -- training important long-term trends in neuroscience research, includ- and learning, decision making, and responding to a variety of ing research aimed at expanding our fundamental under- environmental stressors -- has substantial neurological comstanding and applied research that has particular relevance ponents.

. It has become increasingly clear that Leveraging Opportunities for Neuroimaging Techniques individuals do not process tasks in the same way but instead EEG and EEG image processing will continue to engage different brain systems, with the particular systems a dvance, and EEG will be incorporated in multimodal engaged depending in part on the underlying default brain imaging equipment with magnetic resonance imaging and state (Greicius et al., 2003; Esposito et al., 2006)
