- ScottMcIntyre, on 11/13/2008, -0/+13This is the kind of technology predicted in the movie 'Minority Report'- marketers are going to get ever more sophisticated at understanding consumer psychology. They'll be right in our very brains soon, telling us what to buy.
- theskillwithin, on 11/13/2008, -1/+13it's actually the world government control investing in scans of brain waves to control you and covering up the money trail into "private marketing" like it does with everything else.
- Cyberen, on 11/14/2008, -0/+9I hope in a freak accident, everyone involved in this project gets killed, or at least complete amnesia.
The last thing this planet and this species needs is more calculated messages telling them to CONSUME MORE. - techguru2006, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8mmmm brains.

- britoca, on 11/13/2008, -1/+8marketing is FILTH!
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -1/+8There aren't any commercials in the 350mb of TV I watch if you catch my drift...
- gilg, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5Maybe. Technology has always been flowing from mostly military implementations, where it usually shows up first, to civil ones. Sometimes it's not military but space research but usually military. I am not a great expert on the subject but I think that is exactly what we see here.
- seantubridy, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5Many companies are working on this. Neuromarketing is something we are probably going to be hearing a lot about in the near future. If it executed properly it's pretty much going to change marketing and advertising. Of course, there's the question f ethics.

- pastathellama, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4*****.
No more ***** advertisements GGRRAAAHHH!!! - inactive, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4what a great use of resources!
/s - inactive, on 11/13/2008, -1/+4How is that different from the last 20 years and the present?
- FishHammer, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3You know, the whole reason cable and satelite TV was invented was to escape the ads that kept free "bunny ear" antenna TV running. Now we have twice as many ads with services that already cost us at LEAST $50 a month. *****.
- CarStan, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3We spent so much time and valuable resources on better marketing. Why cant we invent a better economy system instead? We already could provide every human being with enough food and energy to live a safe live, but the current turbocapitalism is blocking it. I'm not saying we should abolish capitalism, or that socialism is better. But i believe with the current technologys available, humanity could do much better than this. Instead of blasting billions into marketing research, why not trying to develope a more fair and balanced (did i wright that?) economy model,like the current one, where even the people in charge of banks etc. don't really know how all their neat tools like HedgeFonds and derivates work and what impact they'll have.
Money and 'free market' human inventions that were developed to serve us.
Today humans are serving the money and the free market. Problem is, we don't share the same goals as our 'masters' - inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2If it shows up in the public arena, it's to introduce something that could eventually be used for control - such as microchips to track pets/children - brain scanners - pain beams - laser airplanes.
If it is said the military is 'working' on it, but at the same time does not have it 'implemented' - it is reasonable to assume they already have it and probably use it - like quantum ghosting - killbots - cyborgs/mech suits - saucer shaped flying things.
If I said it you should probably research these things. - zombiedepot, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2That's exactly what mankind needs right now, the incentive to consume more useless crap.
- SDeluxe, on 11/14/2008, -2/+4I for one, welcome our brain scanning overlords.
- murk, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Head-on, apply directly to the forehead. anyone?
- nytejade, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1They live.
- CJ117, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy ***** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -1/+2Spoiler alert! The brain waves of men show they think about boobies even while being bombarded by horrible commercials.
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Disgusting. Turn the population into consumer drones. Japan always takes ***** to the extremes.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1Then they could find out what went wrong and then we will have flashing pens that..... yeah, you are right.
I'm going to go buy some bacon and doughnuts now. - Scheitbag, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1MAKE IT STOP!!!!
- razorsedge555, on 11/14/2008, -0/+1There aren't too many brain waves to be scanned in the US, judging by some of the driving I've seen in the last two days.
- SharkyTech, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Exactly, how about just trying to make a better product?
- EnergyEinstein, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1It's pretty disgusting. I wonder if they'll scan children's brains too ... I feel like throwing up at that thought.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -1/+1Sigmund Freud
- shylove, on 11/14/2008, -1/+1Marketing demands a brain that makes no waves!! We need to develop our minds so that they aren't so easily manipulated and mindfulness meditation is a good way to do it. What they want are zombies...wakefulness or conscious awareness keeps us from being carried away by concepts and planted impulses and is a dezombification process maybe even like a vampire slayer. But if you want business, madison ave, and behavioralists to suck your blood just keep on watching fake reality TV.
- FishThePirate, on 11/14/2008, -1/+0Oh, hey there corporate slut whore bag; maybe you can use your brainwave-a-tron to figure out what I'm thinking of doing to your face with a rusty shovel.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+1Best. Joke. Ever.
- FishThePirate, on 11/14/2008, -1/+0There's also the question of how many of these corporate dicksocks I can kick in the nutsack before I get tackled by security.
Research suggests that a man of average physical health such as myself could get about five of them before I'm arrested.
Additional statistics also suggest that it would still be completely worth it. - danj484, on 11/14/2008, -1/+0Invest in aluminum foil now.
- ASSASSYN360, on 11/14/2008, -2/+1I am selling custom tin foil hats. I know you all want them...you have been scanned.
