Government’s Intel Think Tank Wants to Improve Human Reasoning

IARPA solicitation says effort could help society in general.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity wants to improve human reasoning and problem solving skills, an effort it says could “have significant benefits for intelligence analysis and for society in general.”

IARPA says, “recent research suggests that improving these skills in healthy, high-performing adults may be possible; but research remains limited in scope, with equivocal results.”

So, if you have any unequivocal research ideas, send them on to IARPA by Oct. 12.
