WEEK 1
LECTURE 1
Oxytocin: hormone released when connecting to someone
BOOK - How emotions are made
Two kinds of social norms:
- Injunctive norms → perception of common disapproval of a particular kind of behavior
→ what you should do
- Descriptive norms → behavior that is most common in a given situation
→ what people actually do
What underlies social conformity: reinforcement learning.
A deviation from the group’s behavior evokes neural activity similar to error-related
activity in reinforcement learning.
Dopamine response = reward occurred - reward predicted
If you do smth, a reward occurs, but you also have an expectation. If the reward and the
expectations align, you don’t get a dopamine response. If they don’t align, your brain
releases dopamine.
Prediction error: the discrepancy between an actually received reward and its prediction
→ Learning is proportional to the prediction error
Nucleus accumbens: the most important reward area in your brain
In mkt, we want to affect this area of the brain because it’s the area that feels rewarding.
Conceive the brain as a “prediction machine”
→ it constantly predicts what happens and connects what is actually happening
Also with our emotions. We predict that we will feel a certain emotion and if it does not happen we feel disappointed
3
, → The brain can’t be neutral. We always predict what is going to happen.
How to measure social conformity in the MRI scanner?
Grey matter: where the neurons are. Where the processing happens
White matter: where the connection between all the neurons happens
BOLD-signal: blood oxygen level-dependent
More blood is coming to the brain to restore the oxygen that has been used when exposed to stimuli. By
measuring the blood flow, we can know which neuron has been activated when a stimulus was shown
We adjust our opinions simply because of the external opinions that we encounter.
An experiment of faces attractiveness:
Behavioural effect:
← change in face attractiveness ratings induced by group opinion:
If your opinion was different from the other people’s opinions, the error signal was activated due to
the deviation from the group’s activity.
Brain areas driving conformity:
Deviating from a group is experienced as a punishment in the Nucleus
Accumbens (NAc).
TMS - transcranial magnetic stimulation
→ Testing the causal role of the RCZ in social conformity
By using TMS, the machine releases electricity in your brain that temporarily shuts
down a target area.
By shutting down this area → you don’t get the correction signal → no
error-generating signal which reduces conforming behavior.
The nucleus Accumbems is very deep in the brain → which is really hard to reach. So you still have a little bit of correction, but not
as much as before.
A lot of peer influence has big automatic brain response that is out of our awareness. But as soon as we see differences that we
find important, our brain sends us signals to update our behavior
Introduction to Neuromarketing - History
Neuroeconomics (since 2002) → integrating knowledge from neuroscience,
psychology, and economics into one unifying theory explaining human choice behavior.
Goal: measuring brain processes to better understand & predict economic choices
(decision-making by consumers, managers, investors, policymakers…)
Behavioral economics: developed by integrating psychological insights into economics
