A team of scientists from the U.S. and China announced that they had found a means of selectively and safely erasing memories in mice, an advance the military is interested in for treating post-traumatic stress disorder and possibly creating an 'amnesia ray' weapon.

In the future, soldiers may be communicating silently with sophisticated "thought helmets." The devices would harness a person´s brain waves and transmit them as radio waves, where they would be translated into words in the headphones of other soldiers.

India has become the first country to convict someone of a crime relying on evidence from a controversial brain scanner that produces images of the human mind in action and is said to reveal signs that a suspect remembers details of the crime in question.

Rapid advances in neuroscience could have a dramatic impact on national security and the way in which future wars are fought, US intelligence officials have been told.

MIT researchers have developed an universal algorithm for a neural prosthetic aid that can link an individual's brain activity to the person's intentions, and then translate that intention into movement.

A new technology in Japan could let you control electronic devices without lifting a finger simply by reading brain activity.

The U.S. military is working on computers than can scan your mind and adapt to what you're thinking.

A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act.

The author looks at the growing community of people who believe that they are being targeted by government mind control weapons and the real-life U.S. defense programs that could be the inspiration behind these fears.

A new, implantable and wireless brain chip can create artificial connections between different parts of the brain, paving the way for devices that could reconnect damaged neural circuits. Scientists say the chip sheds light on the brain's innate ability to rewire itself, and it could help explain our capacity to learn and remember new information.
