With one glance, your brain is making more neural connections than there are stars in the universe.

Neuroscience allows us to explore the subconscious and helps us uncover the mysteries of how memories are made. This is the key to measuring the impact of one glance.

The findings of our neuroscience study show the impact of advertising on the subconscious, and provides scientific proof of the effectiveness of digital and classic Out of Home.

Read The Neuro Impact Factor whitepaper: a presentation of the OMA’s neuroscience study in partnership with Neuro-Insight, measuring the impact on the audience when they are viewing different Out of Home formats and the application of results as a media measurement metric.




Below is a multimedia event featuring Neuro-Insight CEO Peter Pynta presenting the Neuro Impact of Out of Home. Guest speaker Professor Joel Pearson, founder and director of the Future Minds Lab at the University of New South Wales, shows that the subconscious brain is vital to every day decision making.

About the OMA's neuroscience study

The research was conducted by Neuro-Insight for the OMA and uses eye-tracking and brain-imaging technology to measure the brain's neural responses to seeing advertising on both classic and digital signs.

The findings come directly from the brains of 2,000 people who interacted with more than 800 signs. With over one million data points measuring the impact of a glance, it’s the world's largest media neuroscience study.

The result of the study, allows us to create an algorithm called the Neuro Impact Factor. The OMA will build this into MOVE as a qualitative measure to help planners and buyers better understand the effectiveness of their campaigns.
