Brainwaves on the economy translated into a fine science - The National



Brainwaves on the economy translated into a fine science - The National:

" The neuroeconomic revolution has passed some key milestones recently, notably the publication last year of the neuroscientist Paul Glimcher's book Foundations of Neuroeconomic Analysis - a pointed variation on the title of Paul Samuelson's 1947 classic, Foundations of Economic Analysis, which helped to launch an earlier revolution in economic theory. And Mr Glimcher himself now holds an appointment at New York University's economics department.

To most economists, however, Mr Glimcher might as well have come from outer space. After all, his doctorate is from the University of Pennsylvania school of medicine's neuroscience department."



I finally got around to watching his presentation at the Nobel Conference from back in October. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. It is STAGGERINGLY good!
