Weak Signal's description:
New drugs are continuously introduced. The drug consumption of legal and illegal drugs to improve one´s performance rises (neuro-enhancement). The consumption has already risen immensely: legal forms of amphetamine are given to hyper-active children as medication; illegal forms as speed and other drugs to improve one´s performance and concentration. These are taken by fighter pilots as well as by managers. athletes, scientists and students.
There are many new and different forms of neuro enhancement already widespread (continuous development from classical doping), therefore this has to be observed very carefully.
