... This chapter provides an evaluation of that work, recognizing that it represents only a portion of ARL's human sciences core technology competency portfolio. The goal of the translational neuroscience (TN)

... is a significant achievement, showing the generalizability of the work across multiple BCI applications. The use of transfer learning to train EEG classifiers using data from previous subjects is innovative and appropriate and has the potential to significantly reduce individual-specific training time needed for BCI systems.
From page 47...
... Decision Making in the Field Project Using advanced psychological models of decision making in a simulated checkpoint screening task, the TN group is assessing the degree to which mission or task biases can be adjusted by instruction and incentives. The work is of very high quality and clearly Army-relevant.
From page 48...
... This is a particularly serious problem for invasive electrodes where foreign body reactions and the intracranial environment can affect signal quality and stability. For noninvasive EEG electrodes, the exact electrode placement can vary slightly every time the EEG cap is removed and reattached.
From page 49...
... One control condition would be to compare search speed using randomly sorted images that are not sorted via the EEG system. Another control condition would be to compare search speed using different machine vision and automatic target recognition algorithms to perform the sorting of images with potential targets instead of the EEG system.

... For example, a major threat to the performance of military personnel, during peacetime as well as wartime, is traumatic brain injury (TBI) , particularly mild traumatic brain injury.
