Some people end up with an over-active amygdala due to past trauma. It can cause them to overreact, sometimes aggressively, to situations where that type of response is not necessarily warranted.

If this process can be further studied and applied with little to no consequence, it could potentially do wonders for the overall mental health of many individuals.

Every helmet is gonna include Night Vision, radio, transmittable zoomable body cam, Distancing/Ranging, Magnification, GPS reporting, a monocular showing mapping & position, & now electrodes to inhibit fear & pain, magnify aggressiveness & report injuries.

Oh, and extra batteries.

You're meaning, of course, with Antlers... so our soldiers see it as hunting?

Or, maybe, filters would see incoming mortars as flocks of birds?

Hmmmmm..... filters could get interesting....

I'm going to be honest, I would rather this be impossible because I think it will be used for negative reasons more than positive ones.
