Kosal discussed the \u0022Security Implications of Cognitive Neuroscience Research\u0022 during the block of sessions focused on policy, legal, ethical, and dual use (harmful as well as beneficial) issues. Other technical sessions focused on neuropharmacology, functional neuroimaging, and the mind-machine interface (i.e., neural interfaces and brain computer interfaces). \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Kosal \u201cWhatever approaches governments, funding sources, private markets, and scholars pursue, the questions raised by the security implications of advanced neuroscience applications necessitate intrinsically inter- and multi-disciplinary efforts. Scientists, engineers, and scholars will need to collaborate meaningfully. Robust models of the impact of cognitive science on international security require analysts to consider complicated and cutting-edge scientific and technical concepts.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe workshop was part of The Royal Society\u0027s Brain Wave Project which is investigating \u0022concerns raised in science and security policy circles about the military and law enforcement applications of rapid advances in the neurosciences; the \u2018militarisation\u2019 of neuroscience.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/royalsociety.org\/\u0022\u003EThe Royal Society\u003C\/a\u003E is a fellowship of the world\u0027s most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27192","created_gmt":"2011-06-13 13:49:15","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:53","author":"Benjamin Chapman","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-06-13T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2011-06-13T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"66498":{"id":"66498","type":"image","title":"Brain Waves","body":null,"created":"1449177169","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:12:49","changed":"1475894592","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:12","alt":"Brain Waves","file":{"fid":"192561","name":"tnk62011.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tnk62011.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tnk62011.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":6829,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tnk62011.jpg?itok=FdndPcv2"}},"63711":{"id":"63711","type":"image","title":"Margaret E.
