Your team is tired. Not just "need-another-coffee" tired. We’re talking about the deep, brain-draining exhaustion that turns sharp thinkers into zombies by 2 PM. Here’s the thing: this isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a neuroscience problem. And understanding the science behind mental fatigue is the first step toward actually fixing it. Let me walk you through what’s happening in your team’s brains: and how ethical AI might offer some real solutions. Your Brain is Not a Machi

Research is great. But at some point, it has to leave the lab. For years, I've been developing technology and conducting research aimed at helping neurodivergent individuals: particularly autistic adults: navigate environments that weren't designed with them in mind. My PhD thesis at University College London explored how sensory sensitivities affect attention and mental wellbeing, and how adaptive wearable technology might help (Ruttenberg, 2025). But the question I keep com

Imagine walking into a grocery store. The fluorescent lights hum and flicker overhead. A dozen conversations blend into a wall of noise. The air conditioning creates a constant low drone. For many people, this is just... Tuesday. But for neurodivergent individuals: especially autistic adults: this sensory cocktail can trigger overwhelming distress, cognitive fatigue, and a desperate need to escape. This is the reality of sensory sensitivity. And it is one of the most underadd
