Brain warfare is fast becoming a reality, with China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) leading the charge to “shape or even control the enemy’s cognitive thinking and decision-making,” according to Nathan Beauchamp-Mustafaga, a China specialist at the Rand Corporation.
Mr. Beauchamp-Mustafaga argues that war is evolving from land, sea, and air into the “realm of the human mind,” with military brain science (MBS) now looking at how to attack the brains of combatants, rendering them harmless.
