"What goes on in the head of a business leader? At Reading University, they're trying to find out by putting a very successful businessman into a brain scanner.

Philip K. Dick was quite interested in brain scans in business. He suggests that the scans of CEO's could be used to keep their office contents secure. Consider the cephalic pattern door.
