This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 23 March 2010, was produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It surveys invasive and noninvasive brain-machine interface technologies for controlling external devices without limb-operated interfaces. The technologies covered include EEG, MEG, fMRI, NIRS, and implanted electrode arrays. It concludes that noninvasive electrical monitoring is the most promising near-term approach. In the long term, it favors invasive single-neuron cortical connections that use optical stimulation or chip-based arrays.

Experimental Arrangements. (A): arrangement for simultaneous recordings of neuronal activity, electromyograms (EMGs), and movements in the freely behav,ng an,mal. Electrophysiolog,cal recordings and the video record,ngs were synchronized by pulses (1 Hz) recorded simultaneously by both systems (Synchro). (B): arrangement for recording vestibular responses in RS neurons during swimming. Central, denervated region of the body was fixed in the exper,mental device. Lamprey could perform locomotor-like undulatory movements by its anterior and posterior body parts (ind,cated by arrows). Device could be rotated manually (a, roll tilt angle). Additional studies utilizing neurological signals generated from the lamprey have been equally promising in eliciting cognitive responses that translate a controlled response into a machine's activity. In a similar experiment, Deliagina, and coworkers (Reference 30) used the activity of reticulospinal neurons recorded from a swimming lamprey to 21 UNCLASSIFIED/ ,'F811. 8FFUiiliR.k lalili O•lk¥
