Buy.ology by Martin Lindstrom

buyology-martinlindstrom
Apparently our average time to decide what to buy is 2 seconds. So if we’re faced with a shelf of -let’s say- toilet paper, we decide almost instantly what brand to buy and what to leave in the store. At least that’s one of Martin Lindstrom’s claims in his interesting book “Buy.ology; Truth and Lies About Why We Buy”. As the subtitle suggests it gives the reader an insight in the brain of the consumer and discloses some mindblowing -and sometime shocking- facts on our own buying behaviour. Everything is based on years of research by Martin and a team of neuro-scientist. Let me talk you through the -in my opinion- the most interesting parts.

The book starts with a chapter on how the idea of neuromarketing started and how the results where measured on thousands of participants. Lindstrom used two main techniques of analyzing the brain responses to different (marketing) stimuli:
1. fMRI: a type of specialized MRI scan that measures the change in blood flow related to neural activity in the brain.
2. SST: A kind of EEG-scan that records electrical activity in the brains.
With these two techniques, he and his team grounded all the interesting facts and claims in this essay. Really fascinating!
