ABOUT THIS “FOCUS ON ANALYTICS” TALK: The use—and abuse—of neuroscience and psychological research methodologies has become a hot topic in consumer research. Neuro- and psychological science can help consumer and sensory researchers and product developers better understand consumers’ unconscious motivators and reactions. However, the field of “neuromarketing” has been plagued with pseudoscience and “neurohype” and researchers have experienced some disappointments when trying to incorporate these measures into their research. While physiological measures have been used successfully in academia to better understand human perception, proper application of consumer neuroscience in industry has been more challenging. I will address these challenges, current methodologies and technologies, and issues with research design using applied consumer neuroscience. I will discuss real examples of misuses, abuses and disappointments of these methodologies. Real and thoughtful applied consumer neuroscience is about using the right combination of sensitive measures from psychology and neuroscience in appropriate ways.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:

DR. MICHELLE MURPHY NIEDZIELA, Vice President of Research & Innovation, is a behavioral neuroscience expert in neuropsychology, psychology and consumer science with a focus on flavor and fragrance technologies. Dr. Niedziela obtained a PhD and Master’s in neuroscience and biopsychology from Purdue University and a BS in psychology from Florida State University.
Michelle is experienced in academia (Monell Chemical Senses Center) and industry (Johnson & Johnson, Mars Chocolate) in R&D of innovation technologies and methodologies for consumer research. She started out as a Scientific Director, heading research design and handling all things science related. Currently, as VP of Research and Innovation at HCD Research, Michelle focuses on finding and integrating new applied consumer neuroscience tools with traditional methods used to measure consumer response.

After notified of a match, students are responsible for providing personal information to the matched executive (e.g., current resume and cover letter with information on career ambitions). The information on this application is for internal use only, for us to match you as well as possible with and executive from among our alumni database.

BLDP Application

The Spring 2023 Application is now open! 

Priority will be given to applications received by November 18. Applications are accepted until all seats are filled. Space is limited, so apply early!

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.

Requirements

Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:

  1. Completed application form (at the bottom of this page),
  2. For students with GPA 3.0 – 3.49, two (2) letters of recommendation (one academic; one other)

Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria:  (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).

Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.

Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.

Application for Admission to BLDP Seminar

Applications for the BLDP Seminar will be ongoing until class is filled.
