Abstract

Branding and packaging are important instruments for companies that are seeking differentiation.
The limitations of traditional research techniques for analyzing unconscious consumer
decisions have encouraged the use of neuroscience tools. The objective of this article is to
carry out a bibliometric study in this field and its research trends. The Web of Science search
platform was used to evaluate scientific production by descriptively analyzing its evolution, and by using the VOSviewer 1.6.17 tool, there was carried out an analysis of nodal networks
to study the thematic areas and research trends. The field of study is in a phase of exponential
growth and with a high rate of international collaboration. The data filtering process concluded
with 258 records whose analysis of nodal networks provided five major thematic areas of
interest: “Neuromarketing”, “Neuromanagement”, “Cognitive Neuroscience”, “Consumer
Neuroscience”, “Neuroeconomics”. The results confirm a high fragmentation of the literature,
consistent with its multidisciplinary origin. The definition of thematic subfields, branding through
packaging, will provide researchers and professionals a solid and more precise framework for
their future research from the field of consumer neuroscience.
