Abstract
As the rate of vaccination against COVID-19 is increasing, demand for overseas travel is also increasing. Despite people's preference for duty-free shopping, previous studies reported that duty-free shopping increases impulse buying behavior. There are also self-reported tools to measure their impulse buying behavior, but it has the disadvantage of relying on the human memory and perception. Therefore, we propose a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-based brain signal processing methodology to supplement these limitations and to reduce ambiguity and conjecture of data. To achieve this goal, we focused on the brain's prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity, which supervises human decision-making and is closely related to impulse buying behavior. The PFC activation is observed by recording signals using a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) while inducing impulse buying behavior in virtual computing environments. We found that impulse buying behaviors were not only higher in online duty-free shops than in online regular stores, but the fNIRS signals were also different on the two sites. We also achieved an average accuracy of 93.78% in detecting impulse buying patterns using a support vector machine. These results were identical to the people's self-reported responses. This study provides evidence as a potential biomarker for detecting impulse buying behavior with fNIRS.
