From the article: > Apple has partnered with Duke University to research the third brain using advanced medical technology powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based on people and documents.

What?

From the WSJ article > Apple has a third brain-related research partnership with Duke University that it hasn’t disclosed.

That makes more sense.

Did they misread "third (brain-related research partnership)" as "(third brain)-related research partnership". That's funny.

Amusingly after a Google search, I see that 'third brain' is a thing (a paper gave that name to the epidermis, another gave it to the placenta, is a Spy Kids thing, is a consulting company, is in the name of a book.)

Honestly this is a pretty poor article that keeps trying to push click-bait links with the phone scanning dust up.
