Introduction
The need to predict, measure, and improve human performance under stress is of extreme interest in the current defense climate of the United States.
The Center for Strategic and Innovative Technologies and its co-sponsors, the Institute for Advanced Technology and the Army Research Laboratory, cordially invite you to join leading researchers at a meeting dedicated to the promotion and sharing of recent findings in this complex field.
Technologies examined will include fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, threat situations in virtual reality settings, and cardiovascular and metabolic analyses. Research in these areas has resulted in remarkable techniques for enhancing data set comprehension, sustaining performance, and improving leadership training. Potential applications include nutritional supplements for deployed individuals and the ability to extend enhanced cognitive awareness during high stress events.
