Film Portable | Beautiful Mind

The breakthrough came when Max's team successfully integrated advanced neuroscience, machine learning, and nanotechnology to create a sleek, portable headset. The Navigator used electroencephalography (EEG) sensors to monitor brain activity, detecting early warning signs of psychotic episodes.
