Neuromarketing Science & Business Association has recently published the 9th edition (July 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 interviewed Jacob Lyng Wieland in an article entitled Emotions in Television: Crucial for the Customer Experience, where he resents how a Danish broadcasting corporation adopted neuroscience and what are their plans for the future.
  
• Sample size is an often discussed topic in neuromarketing research and Carla Nagel presents the opinions on this of the most respected and well known researchers in this field. The interesting part is that each one of them presents the technologies they employ in their studies and it is clear that there is no such thing as the “archetypal neuromarketing study”.
• Richard Silberstein shares recent media insights about how Conceptual Closure Can Kill Television Ads, offering also details about the long-term memory encoding. Conceptual closure has to do with how the brain processes extended experiences such as narratives or stories, according to Prof. Silberstein. You may learn more about this by reading the magazine and Prof. Silberstein’s research articles.
