LINTHICUM, Md. (APOnline) -- Military binoculars may soon get information directly from the brains of the soldiers using them.
With the idea that that the brain absorbs and assesses more visual information than it lets on and that it could make more sense out of what's visible through high-power binoculars if it stopped filtering that information the Pentagon has awarded contracts to two defense firms to develop brainwave-aided binoculars.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, is betting that intelligent binoculars can tap into the brain's ability to spot patterns and movement and help soldiers detect threats from miles farther away than they can with traditional binoculars.
