Neuromarketing
Understand The Subconscious - Heighten Engagement
Comsumer's emotional response to products and brands plays an important role in their decision-making process. Neuromarketing extends classical market research techniques with neuroscience and eye tracking technologies. By merging visual perception and brain response datastream neuromarketers and applied neuroscientists get tru insights into subconcious behaviour of consumers.
SMI RED-m and Emotiv EEG NeuroHeadset: The Perfect Match
SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI), a leader in eye tracking technology, and Emotiv, a pioneer in brain computer interface neuro-technology, have partnered to create a ready-to-go solution for the online analysis of emotional responses and for neurological and medical research.
It combines a perfect match of technologies: the SMI RED-m eye tracker and the Emotiv EEG NeuroHeadset. A special extension package for SMI Experiment Suite software automatically synchronizes and visualizes the eye movement data of the SMI RED-m with the raw and interpreted EEG datastreams of the EPOC Headset - all together in one common interface. The combined solution is a breakthrough for analyzing emotional response in Neuromarketing and Applied Neuroscience studies.

Published PapersNICHOLAS A. BADCOCK, PETROULA MOUSIKOU, YATIN MAHAJAN, PETER DE LISSA, JOHNSON THIE, GENEVIEVE MCARTHURAuditory event-related potentials (ERPs) have proved useful in investigating the role of auditory processing in cognitive disorders such as developmental dyslexia, specific language impairment (SLI), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, and autism. However, laboratory recordings of auditory ERPs can be lengthy, uncomfortable, or threatening for some participants – particularly children. Recently, a commercial gaming electroencephalography (EEG) system has been developed that is portable, inexpensive, and easy to set up. In this study we tested if auditory ERPs measured using a gaming EEG system (Emotiv EPOC®, www.emotiv.com)...

LOUWERSE, M.M. & HUTCHINSON, SThere is increasing evidence from response time experiments that language statistics and perceptual simulations both play a role in conceptual processing. In an EEG experiment we compared neural activity in cortical regions commonly associated with linguistic processing and visual perceptual processing to determine to what extent symbolic and embodied accounts of cognition applied. Participants were asked to determine the semantic relationship of word pairs (e.g., sky – ground) or to determine their iconic relationship (i.e., if the presentation of the pair matched their expected physical relationship). A linguistic bias was found toward...

How about taking a low-cost, small, and wireless EEG for a walk? Psychophysiology, 49: 1617–1621
STEFAN DEBENER, FALK MINOW, REINER EMKES, KATHARINA GANDRAS, MAARTEN DE VOSTo build a low-cost, small, and wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) system suitable for field recordings, we merged consumer EEG hardware with an EEG electrode cap. Auditory oddball data were obtained while participants walked outdoors on university campus. Single-trial P300 classification with linear discriminant analysis revealed high classification accuracies for both indoor (77%) and outdoor (69%) recording conditions. We conclude that good quality, single-trial EEG data suitable for mobile brain-computer interfaces can be obtained with affordable hardware.

WANG, S., ESFAHANI, E., SUNDARARAJAN, V.Research in brain-computer interfaces have focused primarily on motor imagery tasks such as those involving movement of a cursor or other objects on a computer screen. In such applica-tions, it is important to detect when the user is interested in moving an object and when the user is not active in this task. This paper evaluates the steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) as a feedback mechanism to confirm the mental state of the user during motor imagery. These potentials are evoked when a subject looks at a flashing objects of interest. Four dif-ferent experiments are conducted in this paper. Subjects are asked to imagine the movement of flashing object in a given direction. If...

Research PackageDetection SuitesThe detection suites that are incorporated into the Emotiv SDK are:
Expressiv™ Suite
The Expressiv suite uses the signals measured by the neuroheadset to interpret player facial expressions in real-time. It provides a natural enhancement to game interaction by allowing game characters to come to life. When a player smiles, their avatar can mimic the expression even before they are aware of their own feelings. Artificial intelligence can now respond to players naturally, in ways only humans have been able to until now.
Affectiv™ Suite
The Affectiv suite monitors player emotional states in real-time. It provides an extra dimension in game interaction by allowing the game to respond to a player's emotions. Characters can transform in response to the player's feeling. Music, scene lighting and effects can be tailored to heighten the experience for the player in real-time. The Affectiv suite can be used to monitor player state of mind and allow developers to adjust difficulty to suit each situation.
Cognitiv™ Suite
The Cognitiv suite reads and interprets a player's conscious thoughts and intent. Gamers can manipulate virtual objects using only the power of their thought! For the first time, the fantasy of magic and supernatural power can be experienced.TestBench SoftwareTestBenchTM software included in the research SDK provides:
