Imagine spending a fortune on a product launch. Your team ran focus groups, gathered positive feedback, and everything seemed on track. But when the product hits the market… it flops. Sales drop, confusion spreads—what went wrong?

The truth is, traditional focus groups are flawed—because what people say isn’t always what they think or feel.

In this episode of Neuromarketing: Tap into Consumer Brain, I, Marco Baldocchi, uncover why Consumer Neuroscience is the game-changer for understanding real consumer behavior. We’ll break down:

• The limitations of focus groups—social pressure, bias, unreliable data
• How Consumer Neuroscience provides deeper insights using EEG, eye-tracking, facial coding, and GSR
• The $50M Tropicana disaster—a case study proving why focus groups can mislead brands
• How businesses can make data-driven decisions and avoid costly mistakes

If you want real insights, not guesswork, this episode is a must-listen.

We trust AI to be objective, data-driven, and free from human error. But what if AI isn’t just reflecting our biases—what if it’s making them even stronger?

In this episode, we uncover the hidden dangers of AI bias, exploring how artificial intelligence absorbs, amplifies, and reinforces human distortions in ways that impact everything from search results to facial recognition. Even more shocking? Studies show that interacting with biased AI can actually make us more biased in return.

Can AI ever truly replace the human brain, or is it doomed to be a flawed reflection of our imperfections? And most importantly—how can neuroscience help us fix this?
Join me, Marco Baldocchi, as we dive deep into the intersection of AI, neuromarketing, and cognitive science to uncover the truth about artificial intelligence and its impact on our perception. 🚀
Tune in now—you won’t look at AI the same way again.
