IS NEUROMARKETING VOODOO SCIENCE?
Truth MachineFourteen areas of the brain, including the anterior cingulate cortex (top yellow dot) and the hippocampus (bottom), were active when subjects lied; seven areas were active when subjects told the truth.
Proof of PurchaseWhen areas of the brain associated with product preference and evaluation of gains and losses--the nucleus accumbens (right red dot) and the medial prefrontal cortex (left), respectively--were activated, the person bought a product 60% of the time.
Big LoveEarly stage romantic love is about motivation and reward, since it lights up subcortical reward regions like the right ventral tegmental area (top blue dot) and dorsal caudate area (bottom). Subjects in more extended romantic love showed more activity in the ventral pallidum (middle).
Oops, I Did It AgainWhen subjects made errors with consequences the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC, orange dot) was much more active. It was less active when mistakes carried no penalty. The rACC's involvement suggests the importance of emotions in making decisions.
Better to GiveThe caudate nucleus (right green dot) and nucleus accumbens (left), the same regions that fire when basic needs like hunger and social contact are met, were activated when subjects saw some of their tax money go to charity.

Previously, the scientists had studied the brains of those of religious faith, and they found that, as Riley puts it: “The Apple products are triggering the same bits of [Brooks'] brain as religious imagery triggers in a person of faith.”
