The Cultural Brain.
How different regions experience Porsche in
different ways.
The brain responds to meaning. And meaning is shaped by culture.
The same car can activate different emotions
depending on the country, the symbols, the values,
and the cultural identity behind it.
People don’t just buy a Porsche. They buy what Porsche represents.
And what Porsche represents is not the same in the U.S., China, or Germany. This changes; emotional salience, neural triggers, identity patterns, messaging impact.
