The Growing Importance of Brain-Machine Interface in the Workplace
One of the surprising and underestimated trends to watch is the brain-machine interface, especially in the workplace. With the increasing demand for augmented humans in the job market, corporations are exploring ways to access workers' brain data in exchange for services.
