Jonathan D. Moreno's book *Mind Wars* examines the ethical dilemmas and
fascinating history of cutting-edge technology and neuroscience developed
for military applications. In this talk he will discuss the innovative US
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the roles of the
intelligence community and university science departments in preparing the
military and intelligence services for the twenty-first century. The
future of national security, he argues, will depend partly on the practical
applications of neuroscience to warfighter psychology, personal
enhancement, methods of interrogation, and new defensive and offensive
weapons systems.
