Neurofactor
Cases & proof

From world-first research to business impact.

Explore how Neurofactor applies neuroscience, profiling and behavioural science to real-world challenges in marketing, sales, recruitment, experience, workplace, culture, mobility and more.

Some cases prove what is possible when ordinary research is not enough. Others show how behavioural insight can be translated into practical decisions, stronger strategies and measurable business outcomes.

Proof that goes beyond the lab.

Neurofactor cases show how brain data, behavioural science, profiling, market data and business data can be used to understand what people notice, feel, associate and decide.

Our work ranges from world-first research in museums, workplaces, supercars and extreme real-world environments to business cases in e-commerce, recruitment, product launches, tourism, city positioning and customer experience.

The common thread: when the outcome depends on human behaviour, better evidence leads to better decisions.

World-first research

Some questions cannot be answered with standard research. Neurofactor has applied neuroscience in environments and situations where the human response had never been measured this way before.

Business outcomes

Cases are not created to stay in a report. The value lies in how insights are translated into marketing, sales, recruitment, experience, workplace and strategic decisions.

Real-world measurement

Human behaviour does not always happen in a lab. Neurofactor measures people in the environments where attention, emotion, trust and decisions actually emerge.

Known organisations

Neurofactor's work spans culture, mobility, tourism, luxury, retail, recruitment, workplace, public sector, events and experience design.

What makes a city attractive for international conferences?

The Hague & Partners asked Neurofactor to uncover the associations behind organising large-scale conferences - both in general and specifically for the city of The Hague. The findings helped explain how organisers perceive the city, what matters in destination choice and how positioning can be sharpened.

Outcome: Strategic positioning · Event decision-making

See which methods were used in which cases.

Every Neurofactor project starts with the decision that needs to be made. The method follows the question - not the other way around. Explore how EEG, mobile EEG, eye tracking, fMRI, fNIRS, profiling, association research, market data and business data appear across different cases.

EEG

Used to understand attention, engagement and emotional response as people experience content, environments, art, products or high-intensity moments.

Example cases: Mauritshuis · McLaren · Skydiving

View EEG cases

Mobile EEG

Used when the real response happens outside the lab - in museums, vehicles, workplaces, public spaces or extreme environments.

Example cases: McLaren · Skydiving · Real-world experience research

View mobile EEG cases

Eye tracking

Used to understand what people see, miss, revisit and ignore when they interact with art, websites, products, content or environments.

Example cases: Mauritshuis · Certina · Website and experience cases

View eye tracking cases

Profiling

Used to connect behavioural, market and audience patterns to positioning, recruitment, targeting and strategic decisions.

Example cases: OpusFlow · Austria Tourism · Certina

View profiling cases

Implicit association research

Used when people cannot fully explain the associations that shape their preferences, trust, attraction or decision-making.

Example cases: Recruitment · Brand · Product and experience cases

View association cases

Market data + business data

Used to connect neuro and behavioural findings to the commercial reality your organisation needs to act on.
