"The Effects Of Subliminal Aggressive And ""merging"" Stimuli On The Cognitive Functioning Of Schizophrenics: A Failure Of Silverman's Subliminal Psychodynamic Activation"
… of psychopathology. The technique, known as subliminal psychodynamic activation, involves the tachistoscopic presentation of drive-related stimuli at exposures so brief as to preclude their conscious recognition by the subject. A variety of objective and projective tests is then used to …

BioResonant interfaces : tangible, subliminal biofeedback to regulate physiological states
… to stimulate at the subconscious level using subliminal tactile biofeedback. Through this process, the user's physiological state can be aligned with their desired state. I present three different forms of the BioResonant Interface, a wearable device, a cushion, and a kinetic display, which …

An Investigation into the Role of Subliminal Inputs in Placebo Response
… the extent to which other ‘higher-order’ subliminal inputs may also play a part in determining placebo response. The findings presented here found no reliable effect of subliminal priming information on placebo response in a short-term placebo context. Further research is needed to …

Subliminal Exposure to Empathy Primes: A New Method to Reduce Intergroup Bias?
… project explored an alternative technique, subliminally priming (i.e., outside of awareness) empathy-relevant terms (Study 1), or empathy itself (Study 2). Study 1 compared the effects of exposure to subliminal empathy-relevant primes (e.g., compassion) versus no priming and priming the …

Effects of augmentation agents on emotional memory consolidation and subliminal cue exposure to fear-relavent stimuli
… two-day design on extinction learning through a subliminal cue paradigm that activates the amygdala without conscious awareness. Participants that met criteria for a specific phobia of spiders (excluding the daily interference criteria) were randomized to receive placebo or DCS on day 1. All …

THE MODULATION OF COVERT ATTENTION BY EMOTION: AUTOMATIC PROCESSING OF EMOTIONAL VERSUS NEUTRAL VALENCED CUES IN A COVERT ATTENTION PARADIGM
… Along these lines, automatic attention bias to subliminal image cues in an adapted Posner Covert Attention Task was examined in the current study. A sample of 64 participants was used in each of three separate experiments to examine how individuals were cued subliminally by negative or positive …

Data hiding in multimedia - theory and applications
… steganography is a means of communication using subliminal channels. The resource for the subliminal communication scheme is the distortion of the original content that can be tolerated. This thesis addresses two main issues of steganographic communication schemes: 1. How does one maximize the …

Unexpected Arousal Suppresses Memory and Metamemory Predictions During Associative Face-Name Recognition Task
… epoch (Experiment 2) we observed that subliminal arousal suppressed retrospective estimates of decision-making confidence. Critically, the effect was shown to be specific to confidence as it was not confounded by differences in first-order memory-strength. Furthermore, since the only …

Slow and fast light by spectral hole-burning in the solid state
The generation of slow (subliminal) and fast (superluminal) light has attracted a great deal of attention over recent years because of potential applications in optical data storage, optical switching, quantum data processing and pulse regeneration. Slow and fast light can be achieved in materials …
