THE VALUE OF THE STUDY

From a research question to actionable evidence.

Hidden Perception applies an Implicit Association Test (IAT) with Eye Tracker Bar to examine implicit association patterns related to candidate perception, public image, attributes and comparisons between concepts or positioning. Results describe task-performance and visual-response patterns; they do not claim direct access to private thoughts.

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 candidate / concept categories and attribute pairs for the IAT.

02

Run the standardized 3-minute IAT with Eye Tracker Bar for N = 30 participants.

03

Measure response latency, response accuracy and visual behavior across congruent and incongruent task blocks.

04

Calculate association-strength and candidate–attribute response patterns according to the approved protocol.

05

Report the implicit-association profile descriptively without converting it into individual political targeting.

Decisions supported

Compare candidate-image association patterns

Compare public-image attributes

Compare concepts or positioning

Measurement outputs and interpretation must follow data-quality checks and the actual scientific protocol. No sample findings are represented here.

Decisions supported

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 candidate-image association patterns
02Compare public-image attributes
03Compare concepts or positioning
04Identify where explicit and task-based responses differ
05Support further descriptive research on candidate perception
