Q
NEW SCIENTIST,
was allowed to visit a training facility for snipers & test the effects herself?
At first she entered a battlefield s(t)imulator without wearing the transcranial helmet!
Sally describes how fear swept over her as 20 masked men, strapped with suicide bombs & armed with rifles,
charged straight towards her! 'FOR EVERY ONE I MANAGE TO SHOOT DEAD,' writes Sally, 'THREE NEW
ASSAILANTS POP UP FROM NOWHERE. I'm clearly not shooting fast enough, & panic & incompetence
are making me continually jam my rifle!' LUCKILY FOR HER, THE ASSAILANTS WERE JUST VIDEO
IMAGES PROJECTED ON HUGE SCREENS ALL AROUND HER! Still, she was so disappointed with
her poor performance that she felt like ditching the rifle and leaving the simulator...
THEN THEY WIRED HER UP TO THE HELMET. SHE REPORTS FEELING NOTHING UNUSUAL, EXCEPT FOR
A SLIGHT TINGLE AND A STRANGE METALLIC TASTE IN HER MOUTH. Yet she began picking off the virtual terrorists one by one,
as coolly & methodically as if she were Rambo or Clint Eastwood. 'AS TWENTY OF THEM RUN AT ME BRANDISHING THEIR GUNS,
I CALMLY LINE UP MY RIFLE, TAKE A MOMENT TO BREATHE DEEPLY, AND PICK OFF THE CLOSEST ONE, BEFORE TRANQUILLY
ASSESSING MY NEXT TARGET. In what seems like next to no time, I hear a voice call out, "OKAY, THAT'S IT!" The lights
come up in the simulation room ... IN THE SUDDEN QUIET AMID THE BODIES AROUND ME, I WAS REALLY EXPECTING MORE
ASSAILANTS, and I'm a bit disappointed when the team begins to remove my electrodes. I look up & wonder if someone
wound the clocks forward. Inexplicably, 20 minutes have just passed. "HOW MANY DID I GET?" I ask the assistant.
She looks at me quizzically. "ALL OF THEM." The experiment
changed Sally's
life.
