Abstract

The advancement of neuroscience technology has been attracted companies' and researchers' attention. Therefore, neuromarketing studies have increased globally from about one article in 2004 to over 570 articles in 2020 based on the Web of Science database. This study aims to highlight the neuroimaging tools, the neuroanatomy of the brain, and analyses the related literature and investigates the influence of emotion on decision making via the neuromarketing approach. The finding of the research is that emotion has a substantial effect on decision-making.
