Abstract

The introduction discusses the ongoing challenge of understanding the mind and brain, a subject explored by philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis, and more recently, neuroscience. Despite technological advances, many questions remain—such as the origin of consciousness or how we make decisions. Neuromarketing emerges as a tool to uncover how emotions shape consumer behavior and purchase choices. The Blue Brain project is highlighted as a major initiative aiming to simulate the human brain at the molecular level. The objective of the paper is to present the current understanding of the buying process from a neuroscience perspective, focusing on the role of emotion. The paper is divided into four parts: a basic overview of neuroscience, an introduction to consumer behavior, a detailed look at emotion in marketing, and a brief review of scientific research in neuromarketing, ending with final reflections.
