First website dedicated to the measurement of Emotional Engagement launched

Source: Foviance, 12 October 2011

Today, a new website was launched on Emotional Engagement, uncovering a ground-breaking technology that enables businesses' to understand if they have engaged with their customers on an emotional level. Foviance, the expert in customer experience, worked with SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI), a world leader in computer vision applications and developed their Emotional Engagement Measurement™ (EEM™) service, which is a fresh approach to customer experience research.

The Emotional Engagement Measurement™ service combines a variety of Foviance's user research methods, eye tracking data collected with SMI solutions and brain data on emotional states collected with a specialised neuroheadset. Measuring emotional engagement has always been a challenge for customer experience professionals because emotions are largely driven by unconscious processes.
Electroencephalography (EEG) data provides a view on how the brain responds to diff erent experiences, revealing unconscious emotional states. Foviance's expert consultants are able to use this brain data to offer clients actionable insights on how to increase the effectiveness of marketing and improve customer experience.

In a pilot project with Foviance UK, SMI developed a special interface to integrate the Emotive EPOC neuroheadset with the SMI Experiment Suite 360° eye tracking software and the SMI RED eye tracking device, which successfully delivered a service to analyse home, product and landing pages, as well as banner and email content. By adding eye tracking to EEM™, each emotional reaction can be objectively associated with the focus of visual attention at a certain time.

Or in plain words: 'In an EEM™ study, we get deeper knowledge on the process of information processing because we know where someone was looking when the brain reacted in a certain way'. Foviance is really excited to have this resource available, which will be come the knowledge base of emotional engagement worldwide.
