Deep dives
Neural Arousal and Advertising Success
Researchers investigated how brainwave measurements can inform advertisers about consumer reactions to ads, focusing on neural arousal, which reflects emotional intensity. By using EEG technology, they monitored brain activity while participants viewed various advertisements, revealing a direct connection between emotional responses and ad effectiveness. Interestingly, higher neural arousal was linked to better memorability; ads that evoked stronger emotional reactions were more likely to stick in consumers' minds. However, this does not guarantee that such ads would be liked, as the study showed that increased emotional impact could lead to negative attitudes towards the ads themselves.
