A world in which your boss spies on your brainwaves? That future is near | Hamilton Nolan

Nita Farahany gave a presentation at Davos about neurotechnology that is creating “brain transparency’, something I previously associated more with a bullet to the head.

The new technologies include a variety of wearable sensors that read the brain’s electrical impulses and can show how fatigued you are, whether you're focused on the task at hand or if your attention is wandering.

The time in our day that belongs to us rather than to commerce declines further.

The area in which you get to be a person rather than an economic unit gets smaller.

Absent stringent regulation, it has a dystopian certainty, writes Hamilton Nolan.

Waiting to see how this all turns out is a very dangerous idea, he says.
