The Neurophysiological Basis of Feelings and Emotions from Marketing Stimuli
During the sixth ACR Pre-Conference Workshop on Consumer Neuroscience on October 26, 2023, Chris Cascio, Adam Craig, Alex Genevsky, Nikki Sullivan, and Martin Reimann discussed how different marketing stimuli evoke distinct emotional and physiological responses, which can influence consumer behavior. The presenters provided an in-depth analysis of recent experiments that utilized techniques like fMRI and EEG to track how specific advertising elements affect the human brain's emotional processing centers. They highlighted how subtle variations in ad content, such as color and music, can significantly alter consumer feelings and ultimately their buying decisions.
