Does neuromarketing really work?
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 17:21 authored by Conejo, F, Tanakinjal, GH, Lin YangLin Yang, Khoo, CNeuromarketing (NM) uses neuroimaging to evaluate stimuli and improve marketing efforts. It assumes that the human brain has discrete functional areas and that consumer behaviour is largely driven by the subconscious. NM has been regularly used for about five years now by major corporations across a wide spectrum of categories. But it has also elicited severe opposition from consumer groups which argue the dangers of mind control. However, NM’s fundamental premises are weak, it lacks empirical proof and is also used to further economic and political interest. The authors are thus sceptical about NM’s true effectiveness and believe that it is more hype than substance.
