She also worked as a senior scientist at Johnson & Johnson, and still regularly contributes as a columnist on consumer perspectives to various publications.   What are some things behavioral scientists should know more about neuroscience? When should they work together to enhance what they both do? Zarak, Erik, and Michelle tackle questions like these in today\u2019s episode. As Michelle explains, there are a lot of misconceptions about neuroscience. When you conduct \u201cfancy\u201d neuroscience research, it doesn\u2019t mean giving up good, old-fashioned surveys or qual and quant research methods. They must all be combined to better understand how the consumer experiences a product. \u201cMeasuring brain activity doesn\u2019t really tell you anything unless you put it in context, and I feel like the behavioral science gives you that context,\u201d she says.   Other topics include cognitive flow, using neuroscience to increase the effectiveness of OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, and Zarak\u2019s beard care product of choice. Spoiler Alert: it\u2019s called Cowboy Magic. ","author_name":"Action Design Radio","author_url":"http:\/\/actiondesignradio.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
