Our parent company, Valsplat, acquires Braingineers

Valsplat, our parant company, acquires Braingineers

Braingineers maps unconscious behavior and emotions in the use of digital products. The team of psychologists and UX experts achieves this through neuromarketing technologies such as eye-tracking, EEG measurements, and other behavioral data. With this acquisition, Valsplat strengthens its position as a specialist in UX Research.

Raising the bar for UX Research

UX research is all about understanding consumer behavior and their interactions with digital products. Braingineers goes beyond traditional analyses of viewing and clicking behavior by integrating neurodata from EEG measurements into UX research. Proprietary AI models analyze this data to reveal unconscious and emotional user experiences. These insights allow businesses to create digital products and services that are more intuitive and user-friendly than ever before.

With this acquisition, Braingineers’ neurolab will relocate to Happy Labs, Valsplat’s research facility in Amsterdam, making neuromarketing research more accessible. Soon, organizations will be able to conduct their own Neuro UX Research at Happy Labs.

With this acquisition, we can further deepen our research into human behavior and needs, providing even greater value to our clients.

Humanizing the digital world

“We are thrilled to welcome Braingineers to our team,” says Nils van den Broek, co-founder of Valsplat. “This acquisition allows us to deepen our research into human behavior and needs, providing even greater value to our clients. It aligns perfectly with Valsplat’s mission to make the digital world more human. We focus on creating digital solutions that are accessible to everyone and tailored to the needs of their audiences. By combining UX research and neuroscience, we can understand user experiences on a whole new level.”

We are thrilled to join the Valsplat team with our expertise. I am looking forward to applying smart technology even more broadly in the research we conduct together.

Together, the combined team will have nearly 60 employees across offices in Amsterdam and Nieuwersluis. “We’re excited to join Valsplat,” says Max van Kaathoven, founder of Braingineers. “Valsplat is a well-established name, and we felt an immediate connection. We’ve already worked together on projects for clients like Albert Heijn, Odido, and Achmea. Together, we can better support our clients, from needs analysis and product and service design to conversion optimization. I’m looking forward to expanding the application of advanced technology in the research we’ll do together.”
