Cognitive warfare, psychological warfare tactics that hack the brain
 |
Description
Book Introduction
An era where machines hack our minds and control our thoughts!
What if there was someone behind every decision we made?
Everyday Hacking: Are Our Minds and Brains Safe in the Digital Age?
"Cognitive Warfare: Hacking the Brain: Psychological Tactics" is a warning about the most secretive and dangerous "everyday war" we face today.
This book examines the relationship between the human brain, emotions, and behavior as revealed by modern psychology and neuroscience, thereby uncovering the true nature of "cognitive warfare," which aims to read and hack our brains and minds without firing a shot and control us.
It explains how various emotions felt by humans, such as anger and fear, affect human decision-making and behavior, how human needs and desires affect how the brain works, how human-machine interface technology captures brainwave information and reads human minds and thoughts, and how AI algorithms can change or deceive people's way of thinking.
It also clearly shows how cognitive psychological operations have been carried out, especially through the cases of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas.
Cognitive warfare is a war that manipulates information and psychology to destroy the enemy's thoughts and beliefs.
While it may seem like an extension of Cold War propaganda and psychological warfare, today's cognitive warfare has evolved into something more covert and lethal, combining with digital technology.
In the past, guns and missiles determined wars, but now a single social media post, YouTube video, comment, or meme can change the course of a war.
This book dissects the mechanisms of that 'invisible war' and how individuals are manipulated within it.
The fear of cognitive warfare lies in its secrecy.
We make decisions that we believe we have chosen ourselves, without realizing that someone is trying to manipulate us.
From political leanings to consumer preferences, even values and identities, cognitive warfare directly targets the interpretive systems in our brains.
This book, which details the brain's emotional mechanisms and the intersection of AI and brain science, will help you understand how easily our emotions and thoughts can be designed.
This book is a grand strategic book that will determine the fate of a nation, but at the same time, it is a very personal and practical book.
Through this book, readers will come face to face with the reality of the psychological dangers we face today and ponder how to protect themselves from them.
The key to survival will be emotional defense and information discernment.
The ultimate goal of this book is to help you understand the mechanisms of psychological manipulation, recognize the dangers, and arm yourself with the tools to decide for yourself what to accept and what to reject.

Into the book
The problem is not that people today are foolish and can be fooled, but rather that it has become easier to fool the human brain.
The secrets of our brain and psychology, such as how human emotions move and what triggers specific human behavior, are being revealed one after another through the advancement of neuroscience.
We have now entered an era where machines can hack and understand the human brain and mind.
--- From the "Prologue"
'Trolling' is the act of intentionally inciting hostility or anger in order to provoke a strong emotional reaction in others on the Internet, or posting false accusations.
Internet trolls can be real human users or bots controlled by AI algorithms.
--- From "Your Heart Shaped by AI"
We must not overlook the possibility that if brainwave information that directly influences emotions and decision-making falls into the hands of a state or corporation, this information could be exploited for their own gain.
This is because the collected brainwave information can be used to change the user's emotions or thoughts, or even manipulate memories.
--- From "Brain Control that Plans Your Actions"
The fundamental reason for the rise of cognitive warfare is that the information and communication environment that can influence human information discrimination and decision-making is becoming more sophisticated due to the rapid development of information and communication technology, artificial intelligence technology, and brain science.
While cutting-edge scientific and technological advancements are increasing the performance and destructive power of existing weapons, they are also giving rise to cognitive warfare, a more attractive alternative that allows us to "beat the enemy without fighting."

Publisher's Review
An invisible war, a psychological warfare that can destroy individuals, societies, and even nations.
The battlefield is our hearts
We are now in the middle of an invisible battlefield!
"Cognitive Warfare: Psychological Tactics that Hack the Brain" deals with "cognitive warfare," which unfolds not through traditional gunfire and bloodshed, but within our own minds.
This book shakes up the concept of war.
Wars are no longer fought only on borders or at specific times.
It is happening right now, turning our hearts and brains into new battlefields.
The problem raised in this book is so heavy and serious.
However, the greatest strength of this book is that it is easy and even fun to read.
It starts by telling us that the 'mind' that we were curious about, like a sermon, is actually expressed according to the brain's operating mechanism.
Why do strangers seem prettier than familiar girlfriends, and why do we find a stranger we see more intriguing than a boyfriend we see every day? To understand the stormy and stressful period of adolescence, we must understand the "adolescent brain," the driving force behind their emotions and behaviors. Are the intellectually gifted "nerds" and the physically attractive "muscle men" necessarily separate entities? What is the joy of the "runner's high"—the feeling of running without stopping even when it's nearly deathly exhausting?
This book, which addresses the intersection of the brain's operating mechanisms and psychology, begins with a simple curiosity and delves into the invisible, modern-day psychological warfare that can shake not only "my mind," but also society and nations.
It covers the two faces of hybrid warfare invaders who are deploying a 'friendly invasion strategy', the 'absurd but true' situation where a presidential candidate believes he has adopted an alien, the emergence of sexbots that cover up political stories that they want to hide, and even the connection between brain and machine that allows objects to be moved with just thoughts, and the situation where our brains are hacked and our actions are controlled with brainwave attacks.
It is also interesting to understand the context of the foreign policies of the United States, China, and Russia, which have evolved from Cold War propaganda strategies to public diplomacy strategies, and from hard power to soft power, sharp power, and the strategy of buying friends.
However, this book is not just for military and security experts.
Because today, the target of cognitive warfare is all of us.
In that sense, this book will be a survival guide for making your own decisions and surviving in the vast ocean of information, as well as a psychological defense white paper to protect yourself.
This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to develop their own judgment in an increasingly complex information environment, anyone who feels a sense of crisis about manipulation based on AI and accumulated data, and anyone who is tired and confused by fake news and political propaganda.
Now we must understand the world of subtle cognitive warfare and protect 'me' and 'us'.
