ABSTRACT:

Think your brain is being controlled or disrupted by the Pentagon?

You risk being called a nut,

but the notion is not so far-fetched.

Current research at the intersection of neuroscience and national security might one day produce weapons that literally

................boggle

or, if desired,

................enhance,

the mind.

This would give us unprecedented war-fighting superiority as well as a set of

................ethical dilemmas

that could make

genetically-modified-organism issues

................pale in comparison.
