According to audience members, a pavement compressor was working between 2:30 and 5 a.m. on a weekday morning last week on Rotterdam Street—a street belonging to Harvard University near Western Avenue in Allston. No parking signs were posted on the chain...

The appellation neuromarketing popped up several years later, possibly coined by Ale Smidts, a marketing professor at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It's essentially a subgenre of another emerging discipline, neuroeconomics. "Neuromarketing is seen as more negative," Smidts says, because of marketing's commercial connotations...
