U.S. Army, Tufts Study How People Think, Act Under Stress

The Associated Press reports that “the U.S. Army and Tufts University are working together to learn more about how people think and respond under stress.”

“Their new cognitive sciences center officially opened Tuesday in Medford, Massachusetts. The research aims to help soldiers and civilian first responders, such as firefighters.”

“Scientists and engineers are figuring out how to measure, predict and enhance people’s cognitive capabilities, so they can better solve problems and remember information in high-stakes environments.”

“The Center for Applied Brain and Cognitive Sciences was jointly founded by the Army’s Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center and Tufts. It’s part of the Tufts School of Engineering.”
