Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to develop a proof of concept experiment dedicated to the monitorization and augmentation of neuro-visual performances in airport security screening personnel. The main specific parameters of the visual tasks involved are visual stereotypy, detection of complex visual patterns, visual-spatial perspective, low-frequency anomaly detection, limited time exposure and psychological pressure. The final result of the research is the development and validation of a neuro-augmentation program.The rapid development of this branch in the United States (military and civilian spin-offs), the previous interest of some NATO states and similar Romanian civilian initiatives determined us to propose the foundation of a Human Performance Optimization (or Enhancement) Centre for National Security Personnel. We consider that are at least three main areas of research and development – physical fitness, neuro-augmentation and human-computer interaction.
