  • prominent neuroscientific communication theories,
  • neural mechanisms involved in communication,
  • tools to improve the communication competence based on neuroscientific research, and
  • opportunities and challenges of modern neuroscientific methods for corporate and marketing purposes.

Course description
What happens in our brain during communication? The brain is like a universe, with many mysteries yet to discover. Neuroscientific and psychological research investigates how the mind and brain process stimuli and how communication affects behaviour. These topics are gaining increasing interest in the field of corporate and marketing communication. The use of neurophysiological methods with innovative tools has made possible to study brain areas underlying the communication processes. Recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience have investigated many mechanisms involved in communication processes, including attention, motivation, decision-making, emotions, intercultural and group differences, social membership, social influence, identity, and the use of social media. Applications of this knowledge to the communication management in the areas of marketing and corporate look very promising, notably for branding, consumer behaviour, marketing, organisational identity, digital trends, and competence management. But, how to understand their real impact on corporate and marketing communication?
