Rationale

Rationale |
| Reliability |
Conference proceedings, not top-tier journal. The Marvin Project findings are cited secondarily — the original study was not directly accessible. The 37% brain activity reduction and 82% trust rate figures should be verified against primary sources. |
| Relevance |
Directly documents the consequences of military operators trusting AI at high rates, with measured impact on ethical judgment. |
| Bias flags |
Some concerns about measurement — the "37% reduction in brain activity" claim requires neuroscience methodology verification. The 82% trust rate is plausible but source chain is secondary. |
