Caption

Eyeing Shut Eye: The impacts of sleep deprivation are many -- and even the toughest Sailors and Marines can feel the effects. The Office of Naval Research Global is sponsoring new research by Professor Sean Drummond at the Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences (MICCN) in Australia to study the impact of fatigue and circadian rhythm disruption on people's decision-making capabilities -- a critical concern for warfighters who must make fast decisions in unique, often-challenging, circumstances.
