👉 Cognitive missiles, also known as cognitive-enhancing or neurotechnological weapons, are hypothetical technologies designed to augment human cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and learning. These missiles could potentially deliver neuroactive substances or devices that directly interface with the brain to enhance or alter cognitive functions. The concept involves using advanced neuroscience, nanotechnology, or even AI to deliver precise interventions that can improve performance in critical situations or enhance everyday cognitive capabilities. However, the development and deployment of such weapons raise significant ethical, legal, and safety concerns due to their potential misuse and the complex implications for human cognition and society.
