Course Description
In recent years, the application and integration of neuroscientific tools, knowledge, and theories in marketing and consumer research have increased steadily. There is an increased interest in investigating implicit and unconscious processes with the help of neuroscientific methods in order to better understand decision-making. Despite this interest, there are still problems and limitations of this newly emerged research field and it needs to be clarified what can and what cannot be done using neuroscientific research methods in a consumer research context. Therefore, the aim of this course is a review and discussion of recent scientific and methodological developments about benefits and limitations as well as ethical considerations associated with the integration of neuroscientific research into marketing research. Against this background, the course includes the following general key themes: introduction into consumer neuroscience and neuromarketing; basics in structural and functional brain anatomy and neuroscientific methods; consumers' decision-making with insights from consumer neuroscience/neuromarketing; marketing-mix (4 P's) and insights from consumer neuroscience/neuromarketing; ethical considerations.
