Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, in which neural signals are sent from a person’s head to a computer, was once the stuff of science fiction, but now it’s a competitive cornerstone of the high-tech industry. Neurable, one of the companies vying to commercialize BCI, announced this week that it is considering licensing its “mind-reading” technology into consumer wearables. Neurable specializes in “non-invasive” BCIs, meaning its products don’t require users to undergo brain surgery to reap its benefits, setting it apart from companies like Neuralink, the Elon Musk-founded startup known for inserting computer chips directly into people’s skulls. Neurable’s technology works through…

Harry Kane was given a break at the weekend, but it didn’t last as long as Vincent Kompany had hoped. He was busy with the game as Bayern Munich entered halftime with a three-goal lead over Mainz. Moments later, England’s captain scored the winning goal to make it 4-3.It was his 33rd goal in the Bundesliga this season.
