As someone who runs a company that tries to responsibly and pragmatically teach and apply brain science findings to businesses, these unsubstantiated self-promotion vehicles from guys like Lindstrom make me incredibly frustrated. These types of inductive ‘neuromarketing’ sound bytes are far too common. I imagine that had his experiment been focused on the recently-discontinued Microsoft Zune, the insula would have suddenly been associated with disgust again.

As for The Times, at least it’s an Op-Ed and not in the Science section. I think it’s fair to say we’ve all seen bigger misinterpretations and omissions of data in other opinion pieces.
