NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) < 1 mins read

Are you being inundated with texts and emails promoting Black Friday sales? Have you purchased items you didn’t really need? What’s the neuroscience behind these marketing techniques and how can we avoid them?

  • The neuroscience of Black Friday marketing and why we love a sale
  • What we can do to resist these marketing strategies – particularly when our budgets are tight!
  • What we should do instead of scrolling and shopping to support our brain health
