摘要

As neuromarketing, a fusion of neuroscience and marketing, continues to expand rapidly, its promise lies in unlocking deeper consumer insights. This review presents a comprehensive and historically accurate timeline of neuromarketing's evolution, charting key discoveries that paved the way for today’s neurotechnology in corporate settings. Additionally, the review critically examines current neuromarketing tools and includes insights from numerous case studies. Crucially, this research identifies a gap in neuromarketing practices including a lack of transparency, minimal standardization, and insufficient guidelines among scientists and labs. Current neuromarketing research also fails to address the effects of race and socioeconomic status on brain and physiological responses, which could result in skewed data and incomplete findings. Through a rigorous systematic review of secondary sources, including peer-reviewed articles, media reports, and academic studies, this research synthesizes findings from ScienceDirect, PubMed, IEEE, and more. Key influential companies pursuing neurotechnology such as Apple, Bitbrain, and iMotions were also analyzed, along with impactful case studies from Future Proof Insights and Neuro-Insight. The review critically appraises both qualitative and quantitative secondary research to present a holistic view of the neuromarketing landscape. Specifically, researchers must increase transparency and implement more rigorous testing standards. Most critically, a diverse cross-section of subjects, accounting for socioeconomic and racial differences, is necessary to ensure that neuromarketing insights are valid and applicable to global populations. With multinational corporations driving the demand for consumer insights, addressing these challenges is paramount to ensuring the future success of neuromarketing as a reliable tool. This research addresses a significant gap by offering the first comprehensive historical timeline of neuromarketing's development, along with insights from case studies which are typically hidden due to corporate confidentiality.
