Society's interest in the brain and mind has skyrocketed in recent years. This is partly thanks to increased scientific knowledge about the link between cognitive functions, like attention and memory, and performance in daily life; however, technological advances have also provided unprecedented insight into the brain's inner workings, along with new methods that enable continuous monitoring of behaviour or cognitive and physical functions (e.g. the Internet, wearables, smartphone apps).
