ramifications link
editI noticed that link [1] in the ramifications section does not work? Anyone know where it should lead?
pseudoscience
editTaking a pseudoscience and turning it into a pseudopseudoscience? Wonderful!
- Pseudocomment?
I don't see what is pseudoscientific about applying to economics the observations possible with the instrumentation that neuroscience provides. Traditional economics makes assumptions about the way people behave in markets. Neuroeconomics helps us to validate or falsify those assumptions. With such knowledge there is likely to be wider impact on our understanding of human behaviour in an economic context. Surely a worthwhile endeavour. Matt Stan 10:14, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Another reference
editHere's another reference to add, if someone wants to format it appropriately.
- Mind games. (2005, Janurary 15). In The Economist, 374, 71.

Link to commercial firm ?
editThe first link ("Applied Neuroscience, Austria") at the external links goes to a kind of advertising for a company.
Is this desired ?

- As Wikipedia is not a directory, I have removed the following: Applied Neuroscience, Austria. If the company itself is notable enough to have its own article at Wikipedia, then it would be a reasonable and desirable link. Otherwise, it's out. This is one of the few remaining advantages that universities still have (?) over other research centres... --Technopat (talk) 10:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Understanding Neuroeconomics
editWhy did you remove the link the the article about understanding Neuroeconomics. This article no doubtly added value to the Neuroeconomics value.
A contradiction
editThere is an apparent contradiction in the article between the last sentence in the "Intertemporal choice" subsection and the second paragraph in the "Neurobiological research techniques" subsection. Does the higher level of blood cortisol correlate with heightened impulsiveness and future discounting, or perhaps doesn't?
