Neuroscience applied to marketing research refers to the use of the scientific knowledge on the function of the brain to the study the neurobiological source of consumer psychology e behaviour. Such neuroscientific methods have been in recent times applied to the study and understanding of human behaviour in relation to markets exchanges, as many researchers in the area of neuromarketing have revealed a growing interest in managerial and business neurophysiological devices. In this paper the authors provide an overview of the researches in neuromarketing, examined in the light of the recent nanotechnologies’ advancement. The authors also highlight the improving potential for market researches and for managers’ strategies of this new approach and underlines the ethical issues of this imperceptible nanodevices, which could allow a greater control of people’s daily routines.

Keywords: Nano-Neuromarketing, neuromarketing, neuroscience, nanotechnologies, emotions, consumer behavior.
