Neuromarketing Master's Program

Neuromarketing was first introduced by Prof. Gerry Zaltman of Harvard University, the first person to apply brain-imaging technology in marketing research, in the late 1990s. Spread rapidly in recent years, prominent corporations all around the world began to use neuromarketing as part of their market research.


Neuromarketing is a discipline that results from the interaction of neuroscience and marketing. The leading reason why neuromarketing is preferred by the marketing communication sector as a discipline is the fact that it can present the reasons that shape consumer behavior with concrete data by eliminating the misleading results of traditional research methods.

With the aid of neuromarketing, we can not only better understand customer preferences and demands, but also put the neurological foundations of social behavior to the test in the real world.
