Seat

Cars on the Brain

Leveraging technology to drive personalization.

SEAT wanted to stand out in the 2016 Paris Motor Show and present its latest Ateca model in a unique way. The idea was to use cutting-edge technology to delve into the potential buyer’s mind and differentiate their cars from others on the market.

SEAT went beyond the mainstream practices of form-based car configurators, by creating a neuro-configurator that focuses on the brain responses to specific stimuli.

To really stand out at the Motor Show, the brand needed to do something very different. In collaboration with a neuroscience startup, we developed a neuro-configurator that, based on people’s neurophysiological reaction to specific stimuli, personalized the configuration of the Ateca model for each visitor.

This helped us discover what potential car buyers really wanted and specifically pay attention to consumer’s emotions, cognition, and behavior. Through neuroscientific techniques, we were able to measure Paris Motor Show visitors’ reactions to selected videos and images. By analyzing it all, SEAT could quantify emotional, behavioral, and cognitive states inaccessible to the reflexive mind.

Thanks to this innovation, SEAT was able to recommend to potential car buyers a specific Ateca according to their personality while creating a buzz in the Paris event.
