What is neuro marketing and how does it function?
Now, there are two kinds of methods by which the prospects’ brain functioning can be tracked and examined. One is known as the functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI and the other is electroencephalography or EEG.
Using fMRI includes usage of a powerful magnet that tracks the brain’s blood flow as subjects are made to respond to visual and audio specimens. The examiners are able to understand a point of the brain known as the ‘pleasure center’. Through the means of the same, marketers are able to understand how people actually appreciate their work.
EEG happens to be much cheaper than fMRI and has a cap with electrodes attached to the sample’s scalp. These electrodes are made to record a variety of emotions, thus giving a perception of the sample’s feelings towards the marketer’s work.
Neuro marketing has not been around for more than a decade, but has been one of the top measures that many companies have taken up.
