These projects fall under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.af.mil\/Portals\/1\/documents\/2019%20SAF%20story%20attachments\/Air%20Force%20Science%20and%20Technology%20Strategy.pdf\" target=_blank>Air Force Science &amp; Technology Strategy objectives<\/a>, which seek to make the branch a leader in global science innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iNeuraLS project is a collaborative effort between AFRL and several industry partners \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/\" target=_blank>Microsoft Research<\/a>, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclotronroad.org\/sonera\" target=_blank>Sonera Magnetics<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teledyne.com\/\" target=_blank>Teledyne Technologies<\/a> \u2014 which will offer assistance with virtual and augmented reality platforms and artificial intelligence for machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all begins by creating a \u201cnovel hybrid brain-machine interface,\u201d said Nathaniel Reese Bridges, AFRL\u2019s neural interface team lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a fancy way of saying AFRL is building a system to be able to extract brain signals and other physiological readings in real time to determine a person\u2019s brain learning state, Bridges told Air Force Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harnessing similar technology to treat veterans for migraine headaches and post-traumatic stress, AFRL is working to first understand the brain patterns of their subjects and then work to alter those patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt has an anti-anxiety effect and we\u2019ve actually seen reductions in anxiety with our healthy people as well,\u201d said Dr. Andy McKinley, AFRL cognitive neuroscience lead. \u201cAnd so that\u2019s another feature that could be helpful, you reduce test taking anxiety and hopefully also produce better performance there as well. But the technology is similar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will use neuromodulation to not only help reduce anxiety but also reduce fatigue, something <a href=\"https:\/\/lsda.jsc.nasa.gov\/Experiment\/exper\/27030\" target=_blank>the National Aeronautics and Space Administration<\/a> has been researching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe see, basically, stimulant-like effects where we get these long lasting \u2014 of around 12 hours after stimulation of beneficial after-effect,\u201d McKinley told Air Force Times. \u201cAnd so, we know with our trainees, they get exhausted from the high-paced training that they endure. So, this could also help with reducing the fatigue burden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But stimulating the brain to reduce fatigue has to be tailored to the individual, McKinley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t want to take a bunch of caffeine right when you\u2019re trying to take a nap or something, you\u2019ve got to be smart about where and when, how, you\u2019re delivering stimulation,\u201d McKinley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study is still being developed and will eventually pull some 20 to 30 subjects per group \u2014 with several groups focusing on different aspects of the project \u2014 from the 711th Human Performance Wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, iNeuraLS could extend its learning frameworks into virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of great work being done to develop technology that surrounds the human being, but we can\u2019t forget the human beings themselves,\u201d Bridges said. \u201cWe\u2019re already on our phones all the time. And I think the more that we can create these linkages the better, then, we can work together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force researchers want to link brains to
