Well that may sound like science fiction, but according to Britain's most prestigious science body, the Royal Society, advances in understanding of how our brains work mean that that possibility may not be so very far off. Zoe Combrey has more.
How a soldier prepares to go to war could be about to change. Being good at push-ups and knowing how to fire a gun may still matter, but how about sending electrical currents through a soldier's skull to improve their ability to detect roadside bombs or snipers? This is just one example being given by the Royal Society to show the benefits neuroscience could bring the military. Another could involve using the brainwaves of an injured soldier to operate a prosthetic limb or wheelchair. Professor Rod Flower explains how that would work.
"You put on a little skullcap which contains electrodes, and these electrodes pick up electrical activity from top of your skull. And every time you make a decision like 'turn left', 'turn right', this is reflected in different signals that are picked up by the electrodes. The potential advantage is that your subconscious mind can process information much more rapidly than your conscious mind, and also much more completely."现在，将士兵的思想与武器系统连通是否会改变现代战争呢?哦，这可能听起来像是科幻，但是英国最著名的科学机构英国皇家协会指出，随着科学技术的进步，对我们大脑运作方式的研究取得的进展可能将这种设想变为现实。佐伊·康布瑞为您继续报道。
士兵上战场方式将会变革。擅长俯卧撑和射击可能还是很重要，但是如果将电流导过士兵的颅骨以增强其检测路边炸弹和狙击兵的能力的话，又会怎样呢？这只是英国皇家协会给出的一个例子，旨在展示神经科学能够给军事带来的好处。还有一个例子涉及到使用残疾士兵的脑波控制假肢或者轮椅。罗德·弗劳尔教授为我们解释操作原理。
“你将装有电极的小帽子戴上。电极从你的颅骨上方采集电流活动。你每次做出‘向左转’，‘向右转’的决定，都会反映在不同的信号中，而电极将会采集这些信号。还有一个潜在的好处就是你的潜意识处理信息的速度要比你的意识快很多，处理程度也完整很多。”
