NEURO UX
Brainwave-Driven Design Feedback: Embracing Neuro UX in User Experience
Read Your Clients' Thoughts.
95% of our thoughts, emotions, and learning occur subconsciously. According to one study, a person can solve a puzzle 8 seconds before becoming conscious of it. Thus, numerous processes are happening inside our heads that are invisible, but understanding them gives a significant advantage in planning sales strategy. (Dooley, 2012)
Neuro UX helps you understand what's going on in your customer's mind to achieve better sales results for less money.
What is Neuroscience, and What is Neuro UX?
Neuro UX utilises neuroscience to explore user reactions and abilities in relation to various tasks and stimuli. By using Neuro UX, you can discover what people genuinely think of your test product packaging or materials. The primary focus is on consumer reactions to apps, websites, product packaging, and marketing materials (messages, advertising, visuals, etc.).
Neuro UX aims to understand human emotions, reactions, attention, susceptibility, and avoidance desires through physiological indicators. It uses measures that the human body does not consciously control, such as brain waves, cardiovascular and heart indicators (pulse, blood pressure), changes in the skin's chemical composition, muscle contractions (e.g., facial muscles), eye position (what is noticed), and pupil size changes.
For example, one might measure the difference in impulses between the right and left frontal lobes of the brain using a specialised device to understand whether an individual would choose or avoid a product or advertisement. By grasping subconscious and primary reactions, we can assess whether a person might unconsciously make a purchasing decision based on emotions, avoiding the mentally more complex rational consideration.
You are creating a new service or product and want initial and honest feedback on your ideas. We test marketing materials, initial visuals, or the concept.
You would like to ensure that your product design or user experience is on the right track. During the design phase, neuro UX can provide input on whether the current design is user-friendly or causes user dissatisfaction.
Wondering how to improve your product further or want to find out why it isn't performing as expected? NeuroUX can help identify the issues.
How Do We Measure Human Reactions at Trinidad Wiseman?
- the process resembles a standard user test
- we require a stimulus from the client – image, video, webpage, prototype
- testing with 15 people
- using Muse and MyGaze
Introduction
We introduce the study and test equipment, including biometric measurements, to the participant.
Testing
We show them the product packaging on a screen while simultaneously measuring their physiological reactions.
Interview
We then conduct a semi-structured interview with the participant.
Analysis
We correlate the product packaging elements with identified emotions and reactions
Results
We present you with conclusions about what caused strong reactions in the consumer.
Testing Product Packaging or Service with Neurofeedback
Testing Product Packaging with Neurofeedback
At Trinidad Wiseman, we recommend conducting tests on packaging with human reactions at the design stage to ascertain if progress is being made in the desired direction. You can find out more in our blog post.
Initial Product Packaging Interaction
first impression
understanding what it's about
first-time use
Specific task completion
complicated areas
strain
emotional strength
Testing Marketing Materials with Neurofeedback
Neuro UX ensures understanding and attractiveness in your campaign advertising and identifies whether the materials are persuasive and help achieve business goals.
Identifying Engaging Information
- did they see it?
- did they notice?
- did they understand?
Associated Emotional Strength
- is there motivation?
Testing Ideas (Marketing Texts, Drawings) Together with Neurofeedback
Is the idea comprehensible?
- is there a strain?
Is the idea pleasant?
- is there an avoidance desire?
- are there strong emotions?
- is there motivation
Testing the Brand (Logo, Slogans, Elements) with Neurofeedback
Likeability
- avoidance – approach
- desire strenght of emotions
- motivation strain
Comparing with Other Brands
- avoidance – approach
- desire strenght of emotions
- motivation strain
Service Cost
For example, a study of 3 product packages with 30 people costs €13,500 + VAT, (prices of neurostudy start at €2,600 + VAT).
