Toward the Infinite Cortex

We're pleased to release the Technology Horizons' Mind in a Designed World report, examining the emerging applications of neuroscience research and its significance to both individuals and organizations. We are expanding our understanding of the mind, and this new understanding will lead us to re-design the world. Mental processes once thought to be contained in the head are now seen spilling out into the world.

In the next decade, we will offload more and more of our cognitive processes to our devices, our networks, and our built environments. Organizations, institutions, and even individuals who take advantage of insights emerging at the intersections of brain science and design will be able to create better thinking environments for better human outcomes.
