  • Publication number: 20130060602
    Abstract: Example systems and methods to determine the impact or effectiveness of a test subject on a panelist are disclosed herein. An example method involves obtaining first implicit response data from a panelist at a first time period before an interaction during which the panelist is exposed to a test subject, obtaining second implicit response data from the panelist at a second time period after the interaction, and determining an impact of the test subject on the panelist based on the first and second implicit response data.

  • Publication number: 20120030696
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a method running on a processor for decoding user response to marketing media, the method comprising: defining calibration stimuli that produce at least one expected response; defining data features for assessing one or more states of a plurality of users using at least one of the calibration stimuli and the at least one expected response; identifying a set of data features based on a first correlation between the set of data features and the at least one expected response; and iteratively reducing the set of data features based upon an amount of variation explained by the reduced set of data features and a second correlation between the reduced set of data features and the at least one expected response.
