Neural correlates of the non-optimal price: an MEG/EEG study by Aleksei Gorin, Elizaveta Kuznetsova, Andrew Kislov, Egor Levchenko, Vasily Klucharev, Victoria Moiseeva, Anna Yurchenko, Alexander Luzhin, Natalia Galkina, Anna N. Shestakova

“…Conversely, setting a “non-optimal price”—one that is perceived as much lower or higher than the product's true market value—can negatively influence consumer decisions and business results.MethodsWe conducted two electroencephalography (EEG) studies and one magnetoencephalography (MEG) study to investigate brain mechanisms underlying the perception of prices during a price judgment task. In each trial, participants were exposed to a mobile phone image (iPhone, Nokia, or Xiaomi) followed by a price, and instructed to judge whether the price was high or low based on a target word (“cheap” or “expensive”).ResultsIn both EEG experiments, we found a strong N400-like response to the incongruent target words following prices that substantially differed from the real market value of the mobile phone. …”
