**Fast-track conditioning** is a novel form of training protocol that uses advanced brain-computer interface technology to expedite the process of artificial learning and cognitive adaptation towards desired goals. This technology has a wide range of applications, from military to civilian use, and is particularly advantageous for quickly training new personnel and imparting knowledge of foreign languages; one critical flaw with the protocol, however, is that blind spots can manifest; conditioning does not inform the brain of situational nuances, meaning that conventional training methods must be used in tandem for a fully rounded training regimen. Additionally, the conditioning process can place significant stress on the subject's mind and has potential psychological consequences that are not yet fully understood.

The procedure of fast-track conditioning chiefly involves the employ of [[brain-computer interfaces]] (BCIs). However, unlike the pilot brain-computer interfaces utilized for the control of fencers, BCIs used for fast-track conditioning do not have a parallel structure that intakes and transmits sensory information. Instead, all information comes from the training server and simulacra.

BCIs used for fast-track conditioning integrate several technologies that directly stimulate all portions of the sensorimotor system; this ranges from high-fidelity speakers and visors to full somatic tactility stimulation by means of mesh-suits, dependent on what is being learned. For the stimulation of the motor system as a means to consolidate learned exercises, the implantation of electrodes is required onto the motor's respective areas within the central nervous system; this is the most invasive portion of the protocol, and is assumed to be the chief culprit in fast-track conditioning's identified issues. 

These issues are chiefly psychological in nature, and are often reported as stress and anxiety. Although being reported more often in motor stimulation exercises, this can also arise in sensory stimulation exercises as well for potentially different reasons. Such accrued problems are what have prevented fast-track conditioning from becoming a standardized practice in most militaries and civilian industries.

Even with these setbacks, fast-track conditioning has seen a large increase in employment in recent years. Although most [[Plateia|Plateian]] blocs have been moving to adopt this sort of learning protocol into their training regimens, the power with the most intimacy with this practice is [[Grensland]]. Occupying a multitude of territories throughout the system with wildly differing populations, they have ramped up fast-track conditioning in both military and civilian applications to bolster their manpower reserves through new recruits in their doctrine and language alike.
