      Neuroscience Specialist

      Due to my background and research expertise I was given a blend of neuroscience and traditional market research to provide my opinion on the neuro-marketing techniques that were being used by the company. I was involved in researching and analysing large data sets for both commercial providers such as Dyson and supermarkets such as Lidl and social research for government departments such as the Home Office. I was able to advise and give valid feedback on the EEG techniques used for ad testing and behavioural economics. I learnt about consultancy, understanding public opinion, policy, the process of working with policy makers and quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Show less
