BOSTON (AP) — The U.S. Army and Tufts University are working together to learn more about how people think and respond under stress.
Their new cognitive sciences center officially opened Tuesday in Medford, Massachusetts. The research aims to help soldiers and civilian first responders, such as firefighters.
