  1. Mirror neurons impact consumer happiness. Ads leverage this by showcasing joyful scenarios to influence buying habits.
  2. Somatic markers in the brain create shortcuts for decision-making, helping brands evoke emotional memories.

  5. Health warnings can paradoxically increase cravings for products like cigarettes due to their psychological impact.
  6. Brand loyalty is cultivated through rituals that connect consumers to products and foster a sense of community.
  7. Sexual content in advertising often distracts rather than sells, though it can generate controversial publicity.
  8. Consumer choices are not always rational; understanding brain processes can help make more informed purchases.
