Decision making has always been the most fascinating area of social research. The tools available today can decipher and explain what goes on in our brains when we find ourselves making decisions. No one knows better than those who work with customers that consumers observe and absorb much more from images or words than from reasoning. There are unconscious associations we have with behaviors, places, images and words that help us build a sketch of the people (and brands) we encounter. In the modern view of marketing we ask ourselves, consumers, companies, and products to join us in the process of co-creation. There is now a very precise science in decoding cognitive processes: Neuromarketing Lab is dedicated to testing and describing its main tools and professional and personal implications.
