Neuromarketing is one of the Top 8 Tech Trends for 2008, according to BusinessWeek’s Stephen Baker in What You Really Want to Buy.

It’s a nice little neuromarketing primer for the business executive who has only a vague awareness of what neuromarketing is all about. Your favorite blogger is quoted, too. (No, it’s not Guy Kawasaki! 😉 )
