Nielsen opens neuroscience-powered space in Singapore

‘Neuro Lab’ comes equipped with facial coding tools to monitor consumer response.

Market research firm Nielsen, in partnership with the Economic Development Board, opened what it calls its ‘Neuro Lab’ in Singapore, a dedicated space leveraging on neuroscience technologies to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions for various client needs.

The spaces comes equipped with EEG (electroencephalography), facial coding and eye tracking tools to capture consumer’s emotion, attention, memory activation responses.

The Neuro Lab also comes with a self-reporting tool for clients as Nielsen attempts to achieve a more comprehensive picture of a consumer by deciphering both conscious and nonconscious responses.

We are zealous about this approach of marrying science and data, confident that it can the driving force of innovation in Asia, addressing the growing needs of our clients,” said Johan Vrancken, managing director at Nielsen Singapore.

“The set-up of the Neuro Lab is a strong vote of confidence in our local talent and we are confident that it will contribute to the ability of companies here to understand and succeed across diverse Asian markets,” said Thien Kwee Eng, assistant managing director at the Singapore Economic Development Board.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
