Research

My research lies in the field of Marketing and Neuromarketing. My research aims at investigating the neuronal and cognitive mechanisms that identify and define the decision-making process in the organizations. I also analyse and study the biological basis underlying the buying decision process (B2B and B2C). Specifically, I investigate how consumers evaluate products' quality. Finally, I study how the product features (e.g., price, brand and label) influence consumers' brain activity and behaviors.

My objective: contribute to develop knowledge about consumer behaviour interesting for both academia and companies.
