Neuro-Economics

I couldn't make much sense of the term "neuro-economics" until I bumped into Ernst Fehr at the FENS Forum this past July. This week The New Yorker features a fine piece on the subject, and they're even making it available online for free.

Further illumination about exactly whats 'neuro' and whats 'economic' is provided by this recent Nature news story on the same topic:

This does need a subscription to access, but includes a skeptics viewpoint of exactly how useful (or not) neuroeconomics is.
