Radar Theme: Neuro-everything

[This is part of a series of posts that briefly describe the trends that we're currently tracking here at O'Reilly]

Humans are consistently irrational, and every lottery ticket sold proves the point again. Psychologists, economists, neurobiologists are all studying what makes us behave the way we do.

Watchlist: Mind Hacks, Nudge Blog, Robert Cialdini, Kluge.
