DARPA Has a Simple Solution to Authentication: Reading Users' Minds | Popular Science

DARPA Has a Simple Solution to Authentication: Reading Users' Minds | Popular Science | Science News | Scoop.it

Having contributed in large part to the Internet’s very existence, DARPA is now setting out to make its secure networks more secure. But rather than relying upon the conventional notion of a password--a complex string of letters and numerals that an individual must remember--the agency is looking to create a “cognitive fingerprint” for individuals that constantly authenticates that person for the duration of the time he or she has access to a network.

[VIDEO] Commandos Now Play Digital Brain Games as War Prep

U.S. special operations forces carry out some the military’s toughest, most high-stakes missions. To pull them off, the commandos need speed, agility and swift perception skills akin to those of top-tier professional athletes. That might explain why the military’s latest commando training program will rely on a virtual-reality system already employed by pro sports teams.

Air Force’s Top Brain Wants a ‘Social Radar’ to ‘See Into Hearts and Minds’ | Science News | Scoop.it

Chief Scientists of the Air Force usually spend their time trying to figure out how to make jets go insanely fast or build better satellites. Which makes Dr. Mark Maybury, today’s chief scientist, a bit of an outlier. He’d like to build a set of sensors that peer into people’s souls — and forecast wars before they erupt.
