Work with thought leaders and academic experts in behavioral neuroscience

Companies can benefit from working with experts in Behavioral Neuroscience in several ways. These researchers can provide valuable insights into consumer behavior, helping companies develop effective marketing strategies. They can also contribute to product development by understanding how the brain processes information and influences decision-making. Additionally, Behavioral Neuroscience experts can conduct research studies to evaluate the impact of products or interventions on human behavior. Their expertise can also be valuable in fields such as healthcare, education, and technology, where understanding human behavior is crucial for success.

About
Laura Giurge is an organizational scholar and behavioral scientist. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor of Behavioral Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). She earned a Ph.D. in Management from Erasmus University Rotterdam and two cum laude master’s degrees in economics and business and in human resources management from the University of Groningen. Prior to joining LSE, Dr. Giurge was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Cornell University and at London Business School, as well as a Visiting Scholar at Harvard Business School. Her research seeks to make work better and enable all individuals to thrive and achieve their potential. <br> Giurge’s research has been published in top journals such as Organizational Behavioral and Human Decision Processes, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Human Behavior, and The Leadership Quarterly. She also publishes popular press articles in outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal. In 2020, one of her papers received the Best Paper Award at the Academy of Management. At LSE, Dr. Giurge is part of the teaching team for the Executive MSc in Behavioral Science. At LBS, she connects with MBA and Executive MBAs in teaching elective courses on negotiations, well-being, productivity, and the future of work. Dr. Giurge regularly engages in corporate consulting and executive coaching and serve as an academic partner and advisor. Occasionally, she leads interactive and science-backed workshops, lectures, and keynote talks aligned with her expertise. Her most recent talk has been at the University of Cambridge.

Initially trained as a Cognitive Psychologist with expertise on conscious versus unconscious influences on performance, Steve has more recently become a strong proponent of preventative mental health efforts. During the pandemic Steve created a free online course at Coursera.org entitled Understanding and Managing the Anxiety of COVID 19, a course that has over 180,000 registered students. That lead him to then created more specialized courses, one supporting Police Officers and another supporting Health Care Workers, providing each with a better understanding of the stressors associated with their chosen work, and giving them tips and strategies for managing their mental health. Since then Steve has become a common media commentator around preventative mental health, and has begun supporting both not for profits (The GenWell Initiative) and commercial entities (OOt Social) to bring mental health support to corporations, students, and the general public.

About
My core interests lie in understanding how children and adolescents perceive and interpret social signals and how emerging functional specificity of the developing brain supports this process. My approach primarily involves using the face processing system as a model domain. Faces are dynamic stimuli from which we extract many different kinds of information (e.g., gender, age, emotional state, mate potential, social status, trustworthiness, intentions, “person knowledge”). All of these processes must be executed accurately and rapidly for many faces over the course of a single day, making face processing among the most taxing perceptual challenges confronted by people in their day-to-day life. Given that faces are also the pre-eminent social signal, studying developmental changes in the behavioral and brain basis of face processing in typically developing individuals and in those affected by social-emotional disorders may index a core set of developmental changes within the broader social information processing system. I employ converging methodologies, including functional (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) along with detailed behavioral paradigms in both typically developing populations and those with developmental disorders to examine development from early childhood to adulthood.

I then held a faculty position at the University of Illinois for four years (1996-2000), where I was a primary collaborator in pioneering a computer-enhanced Spanish language instruction curriculum consisting of mixed classroom and computer-assisted instruction. Prior to assuming my current position at Penn State, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi (2000-2001), where I was hired to implement the model for the Spanish language curriculum developed at Illinois.

Example behavioral neuroscience projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on behavioral neuroscience?

Consumer Behavior Analysis

A Behavioral Neuroscience expert can analyze consumer behavior data to identify patterns and preferences. This information can help companies tailor their marketing strategies and product offerings to better meet customer needs.

Neuromarketing Research

By using neuroimaging techniques, a Behavioral Neuroscience researcher can study how consumers respond to marketing stimuli. This research can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and help optimize marketing strategies.

Product Design and User Experience

Collaborating with a Behavioral Neuroscience expert can help companies design products that align with the brain's cognitive processes. This can improve user experience, increase customer satisfaction, and drive product adoption.

Behavioral Intervention Development

Behavioral Neuroscience researchers can contribute to the development of interventions aimed at modifying behavior. This can be beneficial in areas such as healthcare, where interventions targeting behavior change can improve patient outcomes.

Human Factors and Ergonomics

By understanding how the brain processes information and interacts with the environment, Behavioral Neuroscience experts can contribute to the design of ergonomic and user-friendly products. This can enhance safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction.
