Free Downloads Mind Wars: Brain Science And The Military In The 21st Century
The first audiobook of its kind, Mind Wars covers the ethical dilemmas and bizarre history of cutting-edge technology and neuroscience developed for military applications. As the author discusses the innovative Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the role of the intelligence community and countless university science departments in preparing the military and intelligence services for the 21st century, he also charts the future of national security.Fully updated and revised, this edition features new material on deep brain stimulation, neuro hormones, and enhanced interrogation. With in-depth discussions of "psyops" mind control experiments, drugs that erase both fear and the need to sleep, microchip brain implants and advanced prosthetics, supersoldiers and robot armies, Mind Wars may sound like science fiction or the latest conspiracy thriller, but its subjects are very real and changing the course of modern warfare.Jonathan D. Moreno has been a senior staff member for three presidential advisory commissions and has served on a number of Pentagon advisory committees. He is an ethics professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the editor-in-chief of the Center for American Progress' online magazine Science Progress.

Well researched and clearly written by an expert. Provides a unique look into actual application of the latest findings in neuroscience without all the unrealistic hype and fantasy. Also, the best treatment of ethical considerations in neuroscience. Don't let the hokey name and cover illustration throw you off.
I too recently took a ''neuro-ethics'' course with the author, and I wasn't required to purchase this book - I did so because the material in the course was utterly engrossing and I wanted more, more, more. This book did not disappoint. Open your eyes and mind, and start thinking more fully about where the world has been and where it is headed - something we all need to do. Highly recommended!
I have recently finished a "neuro-ethics" course instructed by the author of this book. I was not required to purchase this or any other book written by Dr. Moreno, but my curiosity got the better of me. I like to see how my instructors think so I purchased this book and another, "The Body Politic". Even with my vast knowledge of the military and some of the things they (collectively the military) do, experiment with, and subject our soldiers to, I was surprised to say the least. If anybody remembers "LOST," the TV series, you will recognize that the DARMA name and its' mission correlates nicely with DARPA, its' mission, and the types of work they actually perform, to include medicating our pilots on long-haul flights to keep them awake. "Mind Wars" lives up to its' name and "The Body Politic," while on a slightly different track, are well worth the read.
This book is very well written and covers the ethical considerations and dual use of brain science research. It is a must read for any lay man interested in this technology. It covers only vaguely the research that was being done and was written several years ago. So much of the current research is surely covered by National Security secrecy that the specifics of today's work is not mentioned but I am certain it has advanced much further than the book covers. It gives a look at possibilities of brain technology both for future military and civilian application.Judy Serreze
For someone who is a professor of Biomedical Ethics, written a book on Secret State Experiments on Humans, served as a senior staff member on two presidential ethics commissions, served as president of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, I'm surprised that he believes "those who think they have been victimized by government mind control experiments are misguided". His book provides interesting insight into some of the government intelligence agency projects but mostly with a one-sided view on how useful the projects are with little consideration of potential ethical concerns or mention of previous human subject experimentation violations such as MKUltra.
The opinions of anyone this closely involved in the U S Government must be taken with a grain of salt and a lot of skepticism. The author worked for the government that is responsible for these crimes against humanity. Why did he write this book? His employer is responsible for allowing these crimes against humanity--"psychotronic" mind control no touch torture, to contimue. It is just another experiment on Americans like the people they infected with VD in the last century--only worse. Neither political party has done anything to control those Neanderthals in the military. If they don't start meeting their responsibilities pretty soon, they will become marionettes.
