Does free will have a place in the neuromarketing revolution? Is mankind poised to drastically reshape our ability to read and control the brain? Does the government have a role in helping this fledgling science flourish?

Zack Lynch, the author of The Neuro Revolution, sat down with Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie to discuss the future of neuroscience and how it will affect every aspect of our lives.

Approximately 9.20 minutes.

Shot by Meredith Bragg and Dan Hayes. Edited by Meredith Bragg.

  • Just like everything that humans have done, since the beginning of time, there will be significant advancements and the creation of significant ethical challenges. Isn't the future exciting. Sadly, just when we solve one problem, we create another. The wonderful challenges of the future will be assured, because we will continue to find new opportunities to fix the innerworkings of our humanity.

  • @ishejeffwaters Sure, there is a lot of quackery in neuroscience. I actually have AS myself, but do not refer to (supposedly) normal people as neurotypicals. I was only explaining to MT443 how 1/3 of people can have a diagnosable mental disorder.

  • @vonfinkelstein

    You missed the deadliest brain disease --- the Neurotypical syndrome

    This "Neuroscience" is indeed quackery

  • @celshader Neuromarketing is not new - advertising and business have always been closely tied with psychology.

  • @MT443 That includes ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD, autism, Asperger's, Alzheimer's, Tourette's, dementia, MS, cerebral palsy, dyslexia, Parkinson's, phobias, hypochondria, bipolar, epilepsy, PTSD, stroke, all forms of depression and more.  Get the picture?

  • Neuromarketing. How disturbing.

  • Awesome!
