Abstract

Are operators of weapon systems which draw on neuroscience, or their commanders capable of applying IHL? Only at the price of a decision review system that would be so fundamental as to eradicate the temporal advantages neuroweapons create in the first place. To be meaningful, this review system would need to take the metaphysical foundations of neuroweapons into account.

Keywords: targeting, neuroscience, brain-machine interface, international humanitarian law, Heidegger
