Why not brain scanners to optimize ads? Oh right they are :(

  Neural marketing uses EEG headsets and eye tracking. I searched for EEG + focus detection, and found the 2018 study linked below. Excerpt: “ the best obtained classification accuracies were 77% and 83%, respectively, using SVM binary classifiers.” They used ML for attentiveness classification. I’m sure greater accuracy can be achieved with time, but that’s a good start. It would be even better if we had wearable MRIs. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6263653/#!po=0.675676 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6263653/#!po=0....

    Maybe instead, we just freaking shouldn’t allow applications of this sort of research at all. This is stuff that would have been a scandal if the CIA did it, just because it makes money doesn’t mean it’s okay.

      Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan of neural marketing. I just mentioned it in response to your comment, and only to indicate that the same scanning hardware can be used in the education space.

  Will this end up with Max Headroom's blipverts?

    Without regulations, the question isn’t “will” but “when?”
