Attention- A complex phenomenon in market research

In March 2023, Keith O’Brian of Realeyes invited Brand and Media specialist Matthias Rothensee for an interview for his Attention Leader Series. The Realeyes company is a leader in advertising testing and uses AI to measure audience attention and engagement.

In the conversation, Matthias Rothensee uses a psychologist’s perspective to explain his unique perspective on measuring attention and the concept of attention as a nonlinear process.
