Welcome to the Atlanta lab

We’re looking for people like you

At NielsenIQ, we strive to provide the most complete understanding of what consumers watch and buy, and NielsenIQ’s Consumer Neuroscience team is looking for people like you to participate in a paid market research study! This new and innovative field uses academic neuroscience principles to study marketing and advertising content. For a closer look at what you can expect with our studies, continue reading below!


Eligibility

You are eligible to participate in our studies once every 3 months and will be invited to come back if you qualify for a current study. To check when you last participated with us, please feel free to reach out via phone or email. We will contact you if you qualify for a study to get you scheduled.


Compensation

Upon completion of the study, you will be paid $75 (or the amount stated in your confirmation email) in the form of a pre-paid Visa gift card. Prepaid Visa gift cards are activated after study completion and can be used right away, similar to a debit card.

Apply now, and if you qualify for a study, someone will contact you to schedule an appointment.


Study sessions

COVID-19 update: Our lab has implemented a set of safety measures and procedures in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures and procedures have been designed to ensure your safety and the safety of our employees.

Study sessions are typically 45 minutes to 1 hour in length. It’s important that all participants arrive no more than 10 minutes early to sign in, complete participant paperwork, and perform some simple visual/colorblindness exercises.

Please note, if participants arrive 5 minutes past their scheduled appointment time, we cannot guarantee full study participation and compensation. Due to COVID-19, we are on a much tighter schedule and require more time to sanitize and buffer between participants. Please call our front desk if you are running late.

During the study session, participants will be asked to wear an EEG cap (similar to a swim cap), into which a small amount of leave-in conditioner is applied before snapping in the EEG sensors. Participants will be guided throughout this process by one of our research assistants and will be asked to watch a study presentation while wearing the cap and sensors. The cap and sensors are completely safe and passively pick up your response to the marketing content shown. Participants are expected to pay close attention to the presentation with minimal movement and perform a simple activity using a keypad.
