There's a miltary anomaly recognition system that has a person with sensors attached to his head, and he gets shown satellite photos in quick succession. His conscious brain might not notice things, but his subconscious sees things like man-made structures, and the sensors see this, and the images that cause stimulation are flagged. I wonder if a self-driving system would be made that uses the brain's image recognition facilities.

I would guess the person scanning those images would need to concentrate instead of talking to someone on the phone ot next to them. So the next step would be to outsource the required concentration to brains in Elbonia...

Hope the signal doesn't drop in that tunnel!
