Pablo Torre Finds Out · Uncovering China's Secret War for Athlete Brainwaves (PTFO Vault) · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

And she warned me that China, technologically, has come a very long way when it comes to mining the brain through headbands like the FocusCom.

So I asked her, where does Brainco come into all this?

And what she said is that maybe Brainco is a way for China to quote collect citizen and athlete data by greenwashing a company, claiming it's a Harvard and MIT institution.

To intentionally hide from the consumer.

What data's been collected, where it's going, and who's behind it.

It's not even on the Focuscom website.

And

Yeah, I mean the the the whole thing with Brainco is it's always a question of whether this is actually this incredible company that is instrumental to the Chinese Communist Party.

or whether they're a bunch of incompetent students who weren't even really doctors, who can't even spell the doctor's name right on their box.

And so I asked Professor Farrahant, is all of this technology BS?

Are those neuroscientists right who say that it's kind of like trying to listen to individual conversations standing outside of a stadium?

And what she told me is that initially the data might have seemed kind of worthless.

It was always gonna be way noisier than the kind of data you get from a device like Neuralink that goes directly inside of your head.

But she says that because of the rise of AI, some of the data that Brainco collects may increasingly become discernible.

All of the noise can become signal.

And that's because of AI from companies like DeepSeek, which we should remember is another one of China's little dragons located right next to Brainco and Unitry.

We should plan a trip.

Yeah.

And in Professor Farajani's mind, Brainco probably isn't duping China because no matter how well it works, she says, it's gonna still be a useful tool for an authoritarian regime.

And by the way, it is worth noting.
