1. A method for displaying, collecting and evaluating viewer reactions to a display object comprising a plurality of elements, for the purposes of a decision maker'"'"'s evaluation of the display object, the method comprising the steps of:
- displaying an undivided display object on a display screen for a predetermined time of between approximately ¼
second and 4 seconds to at least one viewer for the purposes of collecting viewer reactions to the display object;
removing the undivided display object from view of the at least one viewer;
collecting cognitive viewer reactions to at least one element of the display object after the at least one viewer has viewed the undivided display object;
dividing the display object into a plurality of spatial regions, such spatial regions being mapped to the display object, after the step of displaying the display object to at least one viewer;
correlating the previously collected viewer reactions with the spatial regions of the display object;
image processing, using a computer or other processor, the previously collected viewer reactions corresponding to each spatial region;
displaying to the decision maker, and not the at least one viewer, the display object with at least one characteristic based on the viewer reactions corresponding to each spatial region.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for displaying viewer reactions to a display object. The display object is divided into a plurality of spatial regions, viewer reactions are collected to an exposure to the display object and correlated with the spatial regions, and the display object is displayed with an aspect of the display of each spatial region being a function of the viewer reactions for the region.

18. An apparatus for measuring viewer response to a display object comprising a plurality of elements, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display for displaying an undivided display object to one or more viewers for at least one predetermined time exposure comprising a duration of between approximately ¼
second and 4 seconds;a data collector for receiving responses from the viewers regarding at least one of the elements after the viewers have viewed said display and the undivided display object has been removed from view of the one or more viewers; a processor for correlating the responses to a plurality of spatial regions mapped to the display object and assigning at least one characteristic to each of said spatial regions based on the responses; and a display for displaying the display object divided into said spatial regions having said at least one characteristic to one or more decision makers but not to the one or more viewers. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
