Neural Based Training, Situational Awareness, and Personal Resilience
Three of my favorite topics in one sentence! I'm working on several things simultaneously, as I often do, and a question came up from some friends about how to integrate all their learning to solve certain problems in their lives. One of the basic principles of...
Neural Based Training
I recently had several fascinating discussions with the top Program Managers in cognitive neuroscience at DARPA. It came as no surprise, to me anyway, that cognitive neuroscience and, specifically, enhancing neurological and cognitive performance in war-fighters, is a...
REPOST: Situational Awareness Training (with update from NASA)
See the full gallery on Posterous In 1996, I published what may have been the first article in the popular “tactical/gun” press on John Boyd’s OODA loop as a model for maintaining situational awareness and decision making for personal combat. I...
NEURAL-BASED TRAINING: TRAINING PERIPHERAL TARGET DISCRIMINATION FOR SHOOTERS
(Part of an occasional series on neural-based training for combative applications) A friend recently sent me a comment from an experienced and skilled firearms instructor. The instructor discussed, briefly, the difficulty involved in...
