U.S. DOD/DARPA: Defense Sciences Office (DSO) –Neural Evidence Aggregation Tool (NEAT)

NEAT aims to develop a novel cognitive science tool that could be used to augment behavioral

health screenings by accurately detecting what someone believes to be true. By bringing together

recent advances in cognitive science, neuroscience, physiological sensors, data science, and

machine learning, the NEAT program will develop processes that can measure what a person

believes to be true by (1) presenting carefully crafted stimuli that are designed to evoke specific

preconscious mental processes, (2) detecting the resulting preconscious processes using current

physiological sensors combined with state-of-the-art signal processing and neural analytics, and

(3) using advances in machine learning and data science to aggregate the preconscious responses

collected across a set of stimuli into a final measurement that quantifies what a person believes to

be true for a specific topic.
