               USAF Psyops: The Neurobiology of Dread

A study last year on the neurobiology of dread gives an idea of
what our military Psychological Operations folks are paying
attention to. A link on this [2]Air Force Psychological
Operations web site is to this article on a recent study on the
neurobiology of dread: [3]The Real Pain of Dread with this
intrguing subtitle: According to brain-imaging studies, the
anticipation of pain can be just as agonizing as the experience
of it.

While this research appears to be benign in intention, having
been funded by the [4]National Institute on Drug Abuse, it sure
is interesting that it is one of a very few research papers
[5]cited by the Air Force PSYOPS folks. After all, creating an
anticipation of pain is a central element in the United States”
[6]psychological torture paradigm.

It also makes one wonder what the calls for [7]increased
neurobiological research into interrogation strategies may
actually be about.
