About this ebook
Nonconscious, unconscious, or subconscious?
Brain versus mind: The word brain tends to be used when
people talk about anatomical structures or circuitry in the brain.
The term mind tends to be used to refer to the subjective
cognitive states a brain creates. For example, the prefrontal
cortex is an anatomical part of the brain, but attention is a
cognitive "state of mind" produced by activity in the brain.
Generally, we use these terms interchangeably. We consider
"nonconscious processes in the brain" to be equivalent to "the
nonconscious mind."
Unconscious, subconscious, preconscious, and nonconscious:
There is a lot of intellectual baggage associated with all the
terms that can be used to refer to the "not-conscious"
processes in the brain. Unconscious has some bad
connotations, in terms of both the Freudian unconscious and
the association with anesthetized states. Subconscious, in turn,
carries a "secondary" or "subsidiary" connotation, as if it's
something below and, therefore, less than the conscious. A
similar term is preconscious, which often would be perfectly
appropriate, but it implies that conscious always follows
preconscious, and this isn't always true. Given all these issues,
we use the more neutral term nonconscious in this book. Using
this term has the benefit of referring neutrally to "everything
other than conscious"; plus, it's the term that's becoming the
standard in the academic literature.
Here, we use the term brain science to refer to all the
scientific fields that underlie neuromarketing. We do this
because we want to emphasize that the one obvious scientific
source for neuromarketing — neuroscience — is not the only
brain science that underlies
neuromarketing. In fact, neuromarketing is built on top of at
least three basic science fields, which, taken together, we refer
to as the brain sciences, or simply brain science. In recent
years, social psychology has focused on the impact of
nonconscious processes
on human actions. It's most relevant to understanding how
conscious and nonconscious brain processes work together in
consumer choice and behavior.
Because we want this book to be a reference for all aspects of
neuromarketing, our definition of the field is quite broad. We
define neuromarketing as any marketing or market research
activity that uses the methods and techniques of brain science
or is informed by the findings or insights of brain science. (For
more on brain science, see the next section.)
Ultimately, neuromarketing is about solving exactly the same
problems that all types of market research aim to solve: how a
company should best spend its advertising. If neuromarketing is
worth its salt, it has to help marketers solve these problems
better than other types of research.
