Effect of information on food evaluation and willingness to buy: a study from a neuromarketing perspective

Abstract

Within the research center of neuromarketing Behavior and Brain Lab (IULM University), we conducted a study adopting both traditional and neuroscientific techniques to test the emotional reaction of consumers tasting a food conserved with a new edible gel, which avoids the presence of artificial preservatives in food.
