Have you seen these? They mysteriously lurk at the top right of miscellaneous web pages on the Harvard Econ department web site. Like here, look Philippe Aghion’s page has brains. Mankiw? brains. And there is no caption or explanation given. I started to think that it was there as some kind of experiment like those guys in gorilla suits that run across the screen when you’re supposed to be counting basketballs? So I am here to say that I am not blind to these brains. And I see the word juice there. You can’t slip anything by me.

Those images are from David Laibson’s work on intertemporal choice. I think the specific source is a 2007 paper.

They’re apparently on any page that uses the particular CSS library that includes Le Brain as part of the header.

These are from that neuro paper in science, that found how people’s brain’s light up when they see juice or something else they want.
Te best thing to come out of neuro yet (vaguely promising from an unpromising field).
