NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 2 of 5Not checkedIn the long run, neurotechnology might enable doctors to detect changes in a person's brain and mental health before the individual notices them, which could contribute to better prevention, earlier diagnosis, and more targeted treatment of mental disorders.View evidenceHide evidence
