Voyage to Your Customer's Brain

Neurowhat? Yes, I am very used to this question.

Marketers will probably try to answer it, but with only 50 years of history, Neuroscience as a discipline sounds pretty broad to most of us. Here's a good initial definition:

Neuroscience studies not only the brain, but also the mind.

In other words, thanks to modern Hi-Tech equipment, we can study nonconscious reactions of the brain.
The application of these techniques in Marketing Research is what we commonly call "Neuromarketing."

Isolated Tool or New Market Research Technique?

Neuromarketing attempts to solve the same problems as traditional Marketing. That said, its Insights — resulting from the measurement of qualitative responses such as emotional or physical reactions — go beyond conventional, quantitative (and often more superficial) Consumer Research.

It's crucial to differentiate areas where consumers can understand and explain their behaviour or attitude, from the (even more frequent) cases where consumers simply don't know what they really know.

They can't understand or explain their behaviour. 

How to Convert Biometric Data into Marketing Insights

Let’s take a Usability study as an example.

Google Analytics provides you with digital footprints of consumer behavior. But these well-known KPIs cannot explain what is behind such actions.

• Biometric information such as Eye Tracking data, will allow you to tell where the subject's visual attention goes, what distracts him, and what might cause her behaviour to be unexpected.
  
  
• Using cameras for Facial Coding also helps identify key Pain Points, moments when consumers are irritated, confused, or happy.
  
  
• Neuro TV  In 2016, Google Australia's Neuromarketing Research collected data on what — and how — Australians watched TV adverts served during the study.

What Are Neurometrics?

The key factor of Neuromarketing studies consists in analysing Neurometrics that reveal the unconscious approach of the audience to the Brand.

This testing measures:

• AOI (Areas of Interest)
• Motivation
• Emotional Triggers
• Memory and Recall
  
  

It seems to be working: Neuromarketing is an essential part of Marketing practice in the leading market in Global Advertising spending (USA):
