Corey Beilstein
Admit it; you’ve wondered. How do products get to the shelf? What makes me want to buy them? How do they make it taste… so… good?
With a background in both cognitive psychology and sensory science, Corey Beilstein decodes consumers, their tastes, behaviors and preferences. It’s a behind-the-scenes world. A single product on shelf represents years of planning and research… all to get the message just right, to grab our attention and hopefully to improve our lives in some way.
Peek backstage and uncover the science of the senses… how what we process leads to what we buy!

Besides all of that, I’m a foodie, a coffee and beer-lover, a snack snob, and I love to cook… I love to play classical piano and to goof around with my kids, too.
