Military funds development of brainwave binoculars

(AP) -- Military binoculars may soon get information directly from the brains of the soldiers using them. With the idea that that the brain absorbs and assesses more visual information than it lets on - and that it could make more sense out of what's visible through high-power binoculars if it stopped filtering that information - the Pentagon has awarded contracts to two defense firms to develop brainwave-aided binoculars.
