Understand the brain's buying circuits through the virtual customer journey to match products with consumers, establish sustainable relationships, and address customer needs effectively. Learn about the phases of consultative selling process and willingness to purchase scale. Explore brain activation in different sales phases using visual stimuli and fMRI studies. Discover how valuation, memory, and pre-motor areas are activated during decision-making processes.

Methods • General Electric Signa ™ EXCITE™ 3 T MR scanner • Visual stimuli back-projected onto a screen through a mirror • Randomized jitter +1,8s to 5,4s was used to decorrelate the model regressors for each stimulus
Preprocessing & analysis • SPM8 • GLM with 6 vectors of stimulus onsets • T-test on individual and group level • FWE correction, p<0.05, extent threshold 10 voxels
