Evolutionary Minds: Michael Platt and the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative featured in Wharton Magazine
Professor Michael Platt and the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative are exploring evolutionary brain science and using high-tech tools to unlock the secrets of human psychology. What does any of that have to do with business? More than you’d guess.
Marketing professor and Wharton Neuroscience Initiative Faculty Affiliate, Gideon Nave, discusses his study that explores the link between music and personality traits, and how companies could look at their customers’ online playlists to potentially tailor product offerings.
