Abstract
A system for accurately modeling of buyer/purchaser psychology and ranking of content objects within a channel for user initiated browsing and presentation contains a neuropsychological modeling engine, a ranking application, and a behavior modeler which communicate with each other and a presentation system over communication networks. The neuropsychological modeling engine utilizes metafiles associated with content objects, a purchaser/viewer model and a channel model to derive a value ψ representing an individual'"'"'s mood and a value m representing an individual'"'"'s motivational strength to select a content object. If the value ψ is within an acceptable predetermined range, the value m is used to determine a ranking for the content object relative to other content objects associated with the channel model. Also disclosed are a system and technique for simultaneously presenting multiple, s content object data streams on the user interface in a manner which encourages multidimensional browsing using traditional navigation commands.

11. A method for enabling multidimensional surfing of content comprising:
-
A) evaluating a first content object according to behavioral metadata associated with a consumer to determine eligibility for ranking; B) assigning an emotional motivation value to the first content object, if eligible for ranking; and C) arranging a reference to the first content object among a first plurality of the content objects in order according to one of increasing and decreasing emotional motivation associated with the respective content objects. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
