Military Plans to Test Brain Implants to Fight Mental Disorders
May 28th, 2014Via: NPR:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, is launching a $70 million program to help military personnel with psychiatric disorders using electronic devices implanted in the brain.
The goal of the five-year program is to develop new ways of treating problems including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, all of which are common among service members who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan.
“We’ve seen far too many times where military personnel have neuropsychiatric disorders and there’s very few options,” says , a program manager at DARPA.

The new program will fund development of high-tech implanted devices able to both monitor and electrically stimulate specific brain circuits. The effort will be led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and Massachusetts General Hospital.
