The research question

Which radio spot generates the strongest physiological activation and keeps listeners connected to the campaign message?

Radio Spot Tester measures physiological activation while participants listen to political radio spots, phrases, voice treatments, jingles and closings. The protocol uses GSR only and reports arousal / activation rather than positive or negative emotional valence.

ParticipantsTarget voter or listener profile defined for the research question.
Minimum sampleN = 30

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the radio spot versions and the phrases, jingles, slogans or closings to compare.

02

Record a baseline and expose participants to the approved audio under a controlled GSR protocol.

03

Synchronize skin-conductance response with the audio timeline.

04

Identify activation peaks, response latency, recovery and low-response segments.

05

Report comparative physiological activation by version and by audio segment.

What the client can change with the evidence

The study is designed to translate observed behavior into concrete operational, people, design or risk-management decisions.

01Compare radio-spot versions by physiological activation
02Identify phrases or segments associated with activation peaks
03Locate flat-response segments
04Compare slogan / jingle / closing response
05Review message pacing using the measured response timeline
Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
