...study is being run by Neurosense, an Oxford-based consulting firm that's a leader in the fast-growing industry called neuromarketing. Neuromarketing uses the techniques and technologies of neuroscience - particularly FMRI scanners - to better understand how our brains react to advertising, brands and products, reactions that mostly occur subconsciously. This burgeoning ability to peer inside the black box of the brain to see how it processes images and messages and reaches decisions potentially gives marketeers a new tool that can be used to fine-tune ads and marketing campaigns, bolster or extend brands, or design better products...

I was on a decent track - I wouldn't say the fast track, but a decent track - to be able to retire comfortably in 15 or 20 years, maybe even less. Now I have a new job in the mortgage business. I left Mizuho in October 2002. They were cutting back because of the market downturn, and I had resolved that I would...
