With Soldiers' Brains":   ...That prefrontal cortex, ...allows
the brain to pick up patterns quickly, but it also exercises a
powerful impulse control, inhibiting false alarms. EEG would
essentially allow the binoculars to bypass this inhibitory
reaction and signal the wearer to a potential threat. In other
words, like Spiderman's "spider sense," a soldier could be
alerted to danger that his or her brain had sensed, but not yet
had time to process.
