The brain economy represents a global objective to halt and reverse the depletion of brain capital, encompassing social, emotional, and cognitive brain resources. Given the rise of advanced generative AI models that strain our brains, as well as the accelerating societal and environmental challenges that stress our brains, transitioning to a brain economy is of utmost importance. Advancements in brain sciences unlock new innovations.
