TL;DR 

The scientists measured the brain waves of the pilots as they flew in a flight simulator mission, and isolated signals which they believed corresponded to certain flying skills.

32 test subjects then flew the same simulated mission while having their brains stimulated with an electrode cap, in an effort to mimic what was going on inside the brains of the professionals.

Surprisingly, the researchers found that the trainee pilots who had their brains stimulated performed much better in certain tasks than those in the control group, becoming 33 per cent more successful in their tasks by the end of the tests.

There's got to be some way I can incorporate this into our training.....

 Where it is getting harder and harder to differentiate reality from the science fiction books and movies of my youth...

Well good.  There is only one thing that is useful that may come out of this.

MMORPGs that don't require monitors or peripherals!  woohoo!  Saving money...oh...wait...this would probably end up being ruinously expensive as well...

Who says they haven't already done it?
