BCW has introduced the BCW NeuroLab Powered by Lab of Misfits, which will use perceptual neuroscience to gain a deeper understanding of why audiences think, feel and behave the way they do. Led by neuroscientist R. Beau Lotto, the Lab of Misfits is a perceptual neuroscience lab composed of scientists, artists, designers and technologists. BCW NeuroLab offers four solutions for clients: neuroscience for brand communications strategy; experiential experiments; behavioral neuroscience for organizational engagement and business transformation; and marketing neuroscience and immersive experiential design. “The experiments we perform through our BCW NeuroLab will enable us to study how people experience a variety of stimuli—from language to ideas to images to emotions to events – to help find the values shared between an organization and its stakeholders,” said BCW chief innovation officer Chad Latz.
