Witnessing an explosion of consumer-facing neurotechnologies to (potentially) harness lifelong neuroplasticity
— Last week I shared some key scientific, technological and investment trends revolutionizing Brain Health, based on my participation at the 2016 SharpBrains Virtual Summit, and promised a second article more focused on the technology side of things. Here it is :-) Just a few weeks after the SharpBrains Summit I also attended CES 2017. While I enjoyed the myriad emerging…
