Human performance modification (HPM) is a general term that can encompass actions ranging from the use of "natural" materials, such as caffeine or khat as a stimulant, to the application of nanotechnology as a drug delivery mechanism or in an invasive brain implant. Although the literature on HPM typically addresses methods that enhance performance, another possible focus is methods that degrade performance or negatively affect a military force's ability to fight. Advances in medicine, biology, electronics, and computation have enabled an increasingly sophisticated ability to modify the human body, and such innovations will undoubtedly be adopted by military forces, with potential consequences for both sides of the battle lines. Although some innovations may be developed for purely military applications, they are increasingly unlikely to remain exclusively in that sphere because of the globalization and internationalization of the commercial research base. Based on its review of the literature, the presentations it received and on its own expertise, the Committee on Assessing Foreign Technology Development in Human Performance Modification chose to focus on three general areas of HPM: human cognitive modification as a computational problem, human performance modification as a biological problem, and human performance modification as a function of the brain-computer interface. Human Performance Modification: Review of Worldwide Research with a View to the Future summarizes these findings."--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aHuman-computer interaction 606 $aCognition 606 $aUser-centered system design 606 $aAugmented reality 606 $aNootropic agents 615 0$aHuman-computer interaction. 615 0$aCognition. 615 0$aUser-centered system design. 615 0$aAugmented reality. 615 0$aNootropic agents. 676 $a612.8/233 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789227903321 996 $aHuman performance modification$93840280 997 $aUNINA
