Current military interest includes techniques to enhance, manipulate, or degrade brain function and human performance, including the development of new weapons. These applications raise significant legal, ethical and human rights issues at the domestic and international level, and associated decisions for policy, particularly in relation to existing arms control treaties.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe high-level roundtable \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/royalsociety.org\/brainwaves-security\/\u0022\u003Eworkshop\u003C\/a\u003E brought together experimental scientists, engineers, and medical specialists along with social scientists and legal scholars. The technical sessions focused on neuropharmacology, functional neuroimaging, and the mind-machine interface (i.e., neural interfaces and brain computer interfaces). Other sessions, including the one at which Kosal spoke, covered the policy, legal, ethical, and dual use issues. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMargaret E.
