WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
TODAY MEETS TOMORROW?FUTURE SHOCK
THIS GORGEOUS MENTAL MOSAIC, A STYLIZED MAP OF A VARIETY OF BRAIN
functions, represents the future of xylophthilic magnetic resonance
imaging, or xMRI. For decades, scientists at the National Institutes of
Health and Marketing have been using this technology to measure how
specific thoughts trigger changes in blood flow to particular parts of the
brain. Over the years, this information has been compiled into a massive
database of specific brain states. Armed with statistical analyses of the
data, exhaustively indexed, collated and cross-referenced, scientists can now pinpoint the precise topic of a subject’s
thoughts—and accurately characterize his or her emotions—at any given moment. This quantum leap in neuroscience
and consumer monitoring will enable marketers, cultrepreneurs and magazine editors to generate valuable customer
demographics with unprecedented accuracy. Keeping your thoughts to ourselves just got a whole lot easier!
With the latest digital imagingtechnology, marketers know exactly what’s on your mind
