The Information Commissioner’s Office (UK) which regulated
privacy issues, said that schools were free to use cameras as
long as they complied with the Data Protection Act, which states
that surveillance must be
“legitimate, proportionate and necessary”.

Would you want to wear a
body cam
when you teach?

What if your
parents could have
logged in when
you were in
school?

TNTTargeted Neuroplasticity
Training
![Page 29: Ender's Game 4 Edu Week 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051404/5a64ff447f8b9abd5b8b483b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) seeks to advance the pace and
effectiveness of a specific kind of learning
cognitive skills training
through the precise activation of peripheral nerves that can in turn promote and
strengthen neuronal connections in the brain.
TNT will pursue development of a platform technology to enhance learning of a wide
range of cognitive skills, with a goal of reducing the cost and duration of the Defense
Department’s extensive training regimen, while improving outcomes. If successful, TNT
could accelerate learning and reduce the time needed to train foreign language
specialists, intelligence analysts, cryptographers, and others.
![Page 30: Ender's Game 4 Edu Week 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051404/5a64ff447f8b9abd5b8b483b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The engineering side of the program will concentrate on developing non-invasive
methods to deliver peripheral nerve stimulation that enhances plasticity in brain
regions responsible for cognitive functions.
The goal is to optimize training and stimulation protocols that expedite the rate of
learning and maximize long-term retention of cognitive skills.
TNT is part of a broader portfolio of programs within DARPA that support the
White House BRAIN initiative.
