Is looking at consumers' brain the ultimate solution?

Esteban Ribero
Esteban Ribero

The idea of using the latest techniques in the field of neuroscience to study consumer behavior has become a hot topic. The presentation delves into the debate over borrowing knowledge and techniques from neurosciences to bypass consumers rationalizations and get to the truth about their behavior. My point of view is that the answer is not in consumers brains but in ours: Strategists and Creatives, who are the endless students of human behavior. This presentation was given at the 2007 AHAA Conference in NYC.

the quest for the truth with neurosciences is looking at consumers brain the ultimate solution? Esteban Ribero Strategy Director
how can we really understand consumer behavior? we need to influence it we usually have inaccurate or partial understanding of it
client bias they only see what they want to see the consumer said...
consumer bias they tell you what you want to hear consumers tell you one thing but they do other
consumer bias consumers inability to know the true causes of their behavior they dont need to know them in order to behave!
weve tried borrowed techniques and theories from behavioral sciences
from psychology and anthropology traditional consumer research projective techniques ethnographies word association collages psycho drawing metaphor elicitation personification personal diaries photo sort perceptual mapping sentence completion apperception test storytelling laddering visualization
from psychology and anthropology the pros no need to fully articulate an answer consumers give cues, the planner interprets them bypassing the rational filters a way to get to the unconscious usually affordable
from psychology and anthropology however too open to personal interpretation little power to generalize still depends on consumers input too biased by the consumer and the researcher
from physiology getting consumers body reactions an attempt to infer their emotional and motivational states
from physiology heart rate measures
from physiology galvanic skin response (GSR) gives an overall measure of arousal by tracking changes in the autonomic nervous system
from physiology eye tracking what catches consumers attention?
from physiology pupil dilatation assessing the level of interest pupil dilates in response to: light but also, emotional state interest and novelty cognitive workload
from physiology pupil dilatation windows to the soul Eckhard H. Hess 1960

from physiology gaze tracking what are they looking at
from physiology gaze tracking usability studies
from physiology gaze tracking online searching behavior
from physiology gaze tracking product design
from physiology gaze tracking individual differences regular people artists
from physiology gaze tracking individual differences ? ?
from physiology gaze tracking individual differences men women
from physiology gaze tracking individual differences are they comparing themselves? do they feel threatened? men
from physiology face recognition emotional states are reflected in the face Paul Ekman
from physiology face recognition the six basic emotions anger fear disgust surprise joy sadness
from physiology face recognition a methodology to assess the emotions
from physiology face recognition emotion recognition software university of amsterdam
Is looking at consumers' brain the ultimate solution?
from physiology the pros no need to ask the consumer get true reactions to different stimuli assess different degrees of arousal in an objective way avoid the subjectivity of the researcher
from physiology however too vague hard to interpret cant really know what it means (too many variables working at the same time) not specific enough to get to the truth
opening the black box asking the brain, not the person
the mind and the brain putting cognitive psychology under context if we can see the brain, we can see the mind
the mind and the brain the mind is a set of modules that process different types of information those modules have identifiable neurological structures
the field of neuromarketing a discipline that incorporates the knowledge about the brain processes in order to improve the effectiveness of the marketing activities
from neurosciences electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity on the outside of the brain using electrodes
from neurosciences electroencephalography (EEG) records timing of activity very precisely (~1 millisecond) but spatial resolution is poor (ERP)
from neurosciences electroencephalography (EEG) its cheap and portable can be combined with eye tracking Dr. A.K. Pradeep, President and Chief Executive Officer
from neurosciences it looks something like VW - The Force
from neurosciences PET scans (positron emission tomography) measures blood flow in the brain after an injection of a radioactive substance
from neurosciences PET scans (positron emission tomography) + spatial resolution - temporal resolution > limited to short tasks
from neurosciences fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) measures changes in blood oxygenation
from neurosciences fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) Princetons fMRI equipment
from neurosciences we can tell generally what parts of the brain are active when you're doing different things, but no, I can't tell you what you're thinking" Dr. Reich

some examples the Pepsi/Coke challenge preference fMRI = =
some examples the Pepsi/Coke challenge preference fMRI > >
some examples the Pepsi/Coke challenge confirmed what we already knew brand associations strongly bias our preferences!
some examples strong vs. weaker brands > positive emotions working memory self-identification > greater information and rewards processing < Dr. Chistine Borns study

some examples who won the super bowl? caveman FedEx amygdala activity the scene looks funny and has been described as funny by lots of people, but your amygdala still perceives it as threatening Dr. Iacoboni
some examples phds neuroplanning strategic planning process neuroplanning allows the user to identify the most appropriate model of behavior within the communication channels
some examples phds neuroplanning a channel evaluation tool influence vs. reach different areas of the brain are stimulated by different media

the promises of neurosciences for planners better understanding of consumers and their relationships with brands better understanding of their decision making processes better understanding of their reactions to commercial stimuli bypassing the consumer
it has created a lot of controversy
恢顎岳 is it the ultimate solution?
proximate causes .ultimate causes neuromarketing is concerned mostly in understanding how? what? where? but to get to the truth we need to understand why?!
and the answer is not in their brains
hopefully in ours!
壊看 ...dont ask consumers for the causes of their behavior, infer them!
壊看 consumers arent usually right they dont know the true reasons for their behavior observe their behavior!
壊看 use cues to inform the strategy dont give up your responsibility to research use your intuition and expertise!
壊看 refer to theories of human behavior read!
