Abstract :
Background: In human behavior study, by peering directly into the brain and assessing distinct
patterns, evoked neurons and neuron spike can be more understandable by taking advantages of
accurate brain analysis.
Objectives: We investigated the role of Event Related Potentials (ERPs) in pre-comprehension
processing of consumers to marketing logos..
Materials & Methods: In the framework of an experimental design, twenty-six right-handed
volunteers (13 men, 13 women) participated in 2013 in the University of Tabriz. An individual
task with a presentation of familiar vs. unfamiliar logos was designed. Stimuli were displayed on
a monitor controlled by a PC using the Mitsar® stimulus presentation system PsyTask. Statistical
analyses of ERPs data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: Our results showed, when subjects were dealing with familiar logos, higher peak amplitude
for the N1 component in right hemisphere of the brain can be observed. These variations on averages
of early components of ERPs in occipital lobe can be referred to the pre-perceptual brain activities.
Conclusion: Investigating early components of ERP can be utilized further as an effective factor in
prediction of the consumers ‘preference particularly in neuromarketing field.
