Did China Steal Jannik Sinner's Brainwaves? | PTFO

Superstars like Jannik Sinner and Mikaela Shiffrin wear a FocusCalm headset to train their minds and get in the zone. But a six-month investigation by Hunterbrook Media, in collaboration with PTFO, uncovers how FocusCalm's parent company — a Harvard startup called BrainCo — was funded by entities linked to the Chinese government for nearly a decade... and then moved to China, only to partner with robotics companies to train super-soldiers of the future. Hunterbrook's Sam Koppelman examines the potential impact on AI, mind control, state surveillance, cognitive warfare... and one very surprised two-time Super Bowl champion.
