Offer Description
Audio Stimulation in the Digital Environment: Applying Consumer
Neuroscience to Examine the Influence of Auditory Cues on Consumer Behaviour
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jakub Berčík, PhD.
Workplace: Institute of Marketing, Trade and Social Studies
Field of study: Economics and Management
Study programme: Agrarian Trade and Marketing
Language of dissertation: Slovak
Form of study: full-time
In the conditions of a dynamically developing digital environment, traditional survey methods may be
insufficient in capturing the real emotional and cognitive reactions of consumers to marketing stimuli.
In the case of online marketing communication, incorrect interpretation of consumer perception can
lead to ineffective decisions and loss of competitiveness. The dissertation will discuss the use of
developing methods of consumer neuroscience and innovative research solutions in investigating the
effects of audio stimulation in the digital environment. The aim of the work will be to analyze the
impact of selected audio stimuli on emotional response, consumer preferences and decision-making
processes in the online environment. The work will use neuroscientific and biometric methods, namely
electroencephalography (EEG) and facial biometrics (Facereading), allowing to capture the
unconscious emotional and cognitive reactions of consumers to audio stimuli. The research will be
carried out in controlled laboratory conditions, as well as in applied digital scenarios that reflect real
situations of consumer interaction in the online environment. The primarily obtained structured and
unstructured data will be processed using descriptive and inductive statistics, or other modern
analytical procedures depending on the nature of the data base. The knowledge gained will contribute
to a better understanding of the mechanisms of consumer decision-making in the digital environment
and will result in the definition of practical and theoretical connections necessary for effective
management of marketing communication in practice.
Audiostimulácia v digitálnom prostredí: aplikácia spotrebiteľskej neurovedy pri skúmaní vplyvu zvukových podnetov na spotrebiteľské správanie
Školiteľ: doc. Ing. Jakub Berčík, PhD.
Pracovisko :Ústav marketingu, obchodu a sociálnych štúdií
Študijný odbor: Ekonómia a manažment
Študijný program: Agrárny obchod a marketing
Jazyk dizertačnej práce : Slovenský jazyk
Forma štúdia : denná
V podmienkach dynamicky sa rozvíjajúceho digitálneho prostredia môžu byť tradičné prieskumné
metódy nedostatočné pri zachytávaní skutočných emocionálnych a kognitívnych reakcií spotrebiteľov
na marketingové podnety. V prípade online marketingovej komunikácie môže nesprávna interpretácia
spotrebiteľského vnímania viesť k neefektívnym rozhodnutiam a strate konkurencieschopnosti.
Dizertačná práca bude pojednávať o využití rozvíjajúcich sa metód spotrebiteľskej neurovedy
a inovatívnych výskumných riešení pri skúmaní účinkov audiostimulácie v digitálnom prostredí. Cieľom
práce bude analyzovať vplyv vybraných zvukových podnetov na emocionálnu odozvu, spotrebiteľské
preferencie a rozhodovacie procesy v online prostredí. Pri riešení práce budú použité neurovedecké
a biometrické metódy, konkrétne elektroencefalografia (EEG) a tvárová biometria (Facereading),
umožňujúce zachytiť nevedomé emocionálne a kognitívne reakcie spotrebiteľov na audiostimuly.
Výskum bude realizovaný v kontrolovaných laboratórnych podmienkach, ako aj v aplikovaných
digitálnych scenároch, ktoré reflektujú reálne situácie spotrebiteľskej interakcie v online prostredí.
Primárne získané štruktúrované a neštruktúrované dáta budú spracované pomocou deskriptívnej
a induktívnej štatistiky, prípadne ďalších moderných analytických postupov v závislosti od charakteru
dátovej základne. Získané poznatky prispejú k lepšiemu pochopeniu mechanizmov spotrebiteľského
rozhodovania v digitálnom prostredí a vyústia do definovania praktických a teoretických súvislostí
nevyhnutných pre efektívne riadenie marketingovej komunikácie v praxi.
