Human-Technology Symbiosis at work: a brain morphometric investigation of inter-individual differences in smart-tool proneness
This study reveals that individuals' affinity for smart tools is linked to specific brain structures. These findings support the theory of Human-Technology Symbiosis and highlight how technology use is associated with brain anatomy, with implications for technology design and user training.
