Business Leaders Brain-Scanned
Business leaders in Britain are being brain-scanned, to see if it is possible to identify leaders by scans alone.
(BBC video on business leader brain scans)
"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. It's the beginning of an experiment to see if the brains of leaders have distinct characteristics... He's being given a series of exercises to do, which involve making business decisions."
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.
