New 6G Waves issue: Interim review of 6G research at the University of Oulu

The magazine is an annual publication celebrating the achievements of 6G research and development.
The science of shopping
University of California - San Diego'Tis the season for spending for many. An estimated 197 million people shopped from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, according to the National Retailer Federation. On Black Friday alone, consumers spent a record $33.6 billion.
In the leadup to Black Friday, media platforms were flooded with advertisements designed to get consumers to depart with their cash in exchange for goods and services. But what really influences people’s decisions to shop? What happens to them psychologically and physically when they are buying something? And is there another hobby just as joyous — but less expensive and more sustainable? Uma Karmarkar’s research examines the factors that consciously and unconsciously influence how people make decisions, including purchases and what that means for markets.
