Mind control moves into battle

Technology that taps into a soldier?s thought patterns could soon see action on the battlefield. But some worry about its future applications.

These devices exploit what neuroscientists call the P300, a wave of brain activity that signifies an unconscious recognition of a visual object, and is so-named because it occurred about 300 milliseconds after stimulation. The P300 can be thought of as the biological basis of the sixth sense.
