Abstract: Neuromarketing refers to the application of neuroscientific tools such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), eye tracking and biometric sensing to study consumers’ subconscious responses to marketing stimuli, and, increasingly, to optimise digital advertising and interface design in real time. When combined with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques particularly machine learning, deep learning and generative models—neuromarketing enables highly granular profiling and personalised persuasion in digital commerce environments, from e‑commerce platforms and social media marketplaces to immersive retail experiences. This convergence promises efficiency gains for firms and more tailored consumer experiences but simultaneously raises significant legal and ethical concerns around privacy, autonomy, cognitive manipulation, discrimination and accountability. This paper examines AI‑powered neuromarketing as an emerging phenomenon in digital commerce, analyses its ethical risks through the lenses of autonomy, cognitive liberty, informed consent and fairness, and evaluates how existing legal frameworks such as data protection law, consumer protection and advertising regulation, and nascent AI‑specific instruments address or fail to address these challenges. It adopts a doctrinal and analytical methodology, drawing on European Union law (notably the General Data Protection Regulation, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and the AI Act), comparative perspectives from the United States, and the evolving Indian regime under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and consumer‑protection law, with a focus on digital marketing and targeted advertising. The paper argues that although general data‑protection and consumer‑law principles provide an initial regulatory foundation, the opacity, behavioural targeting power and cross‑border nature of AI‑driven neuromarketing call for clearer rules and enforcement strategies, including safeguards for vulnerable consumers and recognition of cognitive liberty as an emerging normative benchmark.
