Army Mind-Machine Interface

I couldn't find this anywhere else so if its a repost feel free to delete or move it, but i certainly think its worth a read. I certainly find it interesting if for no other reason then sci-fi has been predicting something to this effect for years, Neurohelmets in Battletech, or being able to "jack" into a computer system a la Gibson or Shirow. Makes me wonder what soldier think about the prospect and how far would a soldier go? If cybernetics were mandatory for the soldiering profession how much would it change the level of commitment to be a soldier, interesting times ahead.

Hope they develop a good "porn" filter on that thing before they decide to hook a soldiers' brainwaves up to a radio...

My first two thoughts were "girl walks by" and "just got an idiot order." I can hold my tongue, but my brain....

I wonder how it receives in a fellow soldier's head. Hearing your buddy's voice in your own head without him actually talking would be interesting.

i figured it would convert the read brainwaves into speech and the receiver would hear speech through standard means ie an earpiece.

I think would think it would be even more useful for controlling complicated equipment, such as aircraft.

Or the Iron Man armor.
