Article: A theoretical study on the ways of analysing electroencephalography in marketing research Journal: International Journal of Data Science (IJDS) 2021 Vol.6 No.2 pp.109 - 128 Abstract: The objective of this paper is to identify the existing forms of electroencephalographic analysis that have been used in marketing research and to see how they can be used in future marketing research. An exploratory research was carried out on papers that used the electroencephalography (EEG) tool for research in the marketing area. The search period was between 2007 and 2017. Three types of EEG analysis were found for research in the marketing area: ERP, time-frequency analysis and frontal asymmetry. Each one of these analyses was used to identify an element of the marketing mix. This study can help future academics and neuromarketing practitioners to identify the appropriate technique to analyse the data and to attain the research objectives.
