brain hacking
Cognitive performance optimization
Brain hacking refers to techniques or technologies aimed at manipulating cognitive function, mental states, or neural activity.
The term spans a wide range—from meditation, nootropics, and productivity tricks to neurofeedback and experimental brain-computer interfaces.
It often carries Silicon Valley overtones of optimization and self-improvement: She got into brain hacking to boost her focus at work.
The phrase can also describe malicious manipulation of someone's thinking through psychological tactics or disinformation.
