Signal Brainwave-sensing headphones marketed for focus and burnout prevention

Summary

This signal concerns headphones with built-in sensors that measure brainwave activity. They are designed to help users optimise how they manage their time and to avoid burnout. Sitra cites the company Neurable, dated September 2024. The product promises to show when attention is flagging so users can plan work and rest before exhaustion sets in. It is an example of brain measurement entering an everyday consumer device used at work. Sitra includes it among signals behind an imagined future article on commonplace neurotechnology.
