Firms scan brain waves to improve ads in Japan
Tokyo (AFP) Nov 12, 2008 US research firm Nielsen and its partner NeuroFocus said Wednesday they would offer a new service in Japan to scan the brain waves of potential customers to help companies improve their marketing. The service will review brain waves, eye movements and other physical features of potential customers to precisely study the impact of commercial messages or products, the two firms said. Nielsen will collect the necessary data in Japan and the California-based NeuroFocus will use its teams of experts, including physicians, to examine the effects of the tested products or commercial messages, they said. The service measures the attention level and emotional engagement of possible customers and the message's retention level, they said. "NeuroFocus is a very new innovative approach of marketing research, but also it has a very economical value," said Cindy Shin, the head of Nielsen's Japan arm. "So NeuroFocus can really help our clients to do better marketing." The two firms formed a tie-up in February in the United States. Related Links All About Human Beings and How We Got To Be Here
