TO THE EDITOR:
Today at 7 p.m., the UNC Global Studies Great Decisions program will host Alenka Brown-Vanhoozer for a one-hour lecture on “Threat Assessment.”
The lecture will take place in Caldwell 111 and is open to anyone in the community eager to learn more about the topic.
Brown-Vanhoozer is the director of the Information Operations Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and has extensive experience working with the Department of Defense and various other government agencies.
She was most recently a senior research fellow at the Center for Technology and National Security Policy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
Today, Brown-Vanhoozer will discuss “Neuro-Psychometrics Analysis” — don’t know what this is?
Most people don’t because it is a trade secret, and publicly available information on the methodology is limited, if not entirely nonexistent.
Those who want to learn more will have to attend the lecture, but the topic falls under the realm of emerging developments in neurotechnology.
Neurotechnology involves tools and techniques for examining behavior patterns to better understand human attitudes and intentions, and it can be used for a variety of purposes from marketing to military and national security.
Given the cutting-edge nature of Brown-Vanhoozer’s topic, it promises to be an interesting lecture that will offer a peek into the emerging technologies that will influence our society.
