2025: An electronic sticker worn on the face is presented that monitors brain function and detects overwork
In May 2025, the United States introduced a set of flexible wireless sensors to track the level of mental tension that can be applied to the human scalp in the form of an electronic "tattoo." The development will help track changes in the concentration of air traffic controllers, drivers and other employees with a high level of responsibility.
According to New Atlas, Professor of the University of Texas Louis Sentis noted that in recent years, a large number of devices and systems have been created that track the health of workers, the tension of their muscles and possible injuries. According to him, the new development allows you to observe the level of mental load, which was previously impossible. This could radically change the way organizations ensure safety and protect the well-being of employees.
The mental load monitoring system developed by Professor Sentis is a flexible "electronic tattoo" that is simultaneously capable of performing the functions of an electroencephalograph and an electroculograph. Both of these devices are used to observe the brain function of patients in hospitals and laboratories.
The typical cost of electroencephalographs and electroculographs usually exceeds several thousand dollars. American neurophysiologists and engineers have developed a cheap and portable alternative to these devices, whose cost along with electronic components and consumables is about $200.
The device consists of a set of flexible polymer electrodes, which are attached to different areas of the scalp, and a flexible printed circuit board with a set of chips. The chips read signals from the electrodes and transmit them over a wireless communication channel to the computer.[1]

Artificial intelligence taught to decipher thoughts via MRI
On May 1, 2023, American researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) announced the development of a new artificial intelligence-based system that can transform human brain activity into a continuous stream of text. A so-called semantic decoder in perspective can help people who have lost the ability to speak, for example, after a stroke, regain contact with the world. Read more here.
