Recent advances in the field of neuroscience are generating a new form of warfare. Ideas such as weapons that use wave beams or the use of electrical brain stimulation to boost solders combat abilities sound futuristic but due to new research these ans similar ideas to them are on the horizon. The continuous research in neuroscience may produce the first neural interface technologies which would allow things like military drone air crafts to be operated by a persons brain. Along with the potential dangerous effect that these advancements have neuroscience may be the answer to diseases or disorders such as Parkinson's, depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy and addiction.

I think these advancements made will translate to neural interface technologies being available in everyday devices used by the general public such as phones and computers. I think this will open the door to have more powerful and useful technologies that would expand what people could do using technolgy to make a more advanced planet.
