The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at DARPA is offering this grant for innovative research into novel assessment tools. This grant aims to elicit and aggregate preconscious signals to determine what people truly believe. Proposed projects should investigate groundbreaking approaches leading to revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. The focus is strictly on innovative solutions, explicitly excluding research that offers only evolutionary or incremental improvements to existing practices. This funding opportunity seeks to push the boundaries of understanding human belief systems through cutting-edge neurological and psychological assessment methods, ensuring the development of a Neural Evidence Aggregation Tool (NEAT).
