“Neuromarketing Theory & Practice” Magazine – Issue No. 8
Neuromarketing Science & Business Association has recently published the 8th edition (April 2014) of “Neuromarketing Theory & Practice Magazine”. This is a must read, you will see this from the brief news and information from this issue presented below:
Mirjam Broekhoff covered the important aspects discussed by Antonio Damasio (leading neuroscientist that has offered a theory about the relationship between human emotions, human rationality, and the underlying biology), a keynote speaker at 2014 Neuromarketing World Forum in New York. By the way, Professor Damasio received a NMSBA honorary membership from President Richard Silberstein and the board of directors.
- In the Case Study section, Luis Fernando Rico Navas presents an eye tracking study that aimed to measure consumers’ response to OOH media. The author emphasized that the brain leads our eyes, not the other way around. So if something captures brain’s attention, it will be remembered.
- The magazine also features an interview with Read Montague (specialist in the field of social neuroscience and computational neuroscience, his work centers broadly on human social cognition, decision-making, and willful choice with a goal of understanding the detailed underlying neurobiology of these functions in health and disease) written by Mirjam Broekhoff. He talks about his work and results, and also briefly discusses the Pepsi / Coca Cola experiment (Pepsi Challenge) he conducted in 2004 and published in Neuron that same year.
- Neale Martin (Founder of Sublime Behavior Marketing, Professor at Kennesaw State University and author of Habit: The 95% of Behavior Marketers Ignore) wrote in the column section an article titled “Updating the Marketing Paradigm”, where he discusses the use of neuromarketing together with traditional marketing research methods.
- Cristina de Balanzo and Nuria Serrano Abad present the new insights in memory that can improve advertising effectiveness, in an interesting article entitled “Memory: Much More Than Recall”.
- People from 38 different nationalities attended the 3rd Neuromarketing World Forum, and some of the moments that were captured with photos can be seen in this issue. Also, 6 of the participants discussed their views on the event.
- Neuromarketing Industry Leaders Meeting held on 5th of March resulted in a series of learnings and conclusions which are shared in the report section of this issue. The discussions are around how to sell neuromarketing, internationalization, getting neuromarketing mainstream, education neuroscience, accreditation, knowledge sharing and building a neuromarketing community.
