Power of your subconscious mind

What is a great example demonstrating the power of your subconscious mind?

One really interesting example of the power of the subconscious mind is Subliminal Perception.

Over the years, it was proven by hundreds of studies that a high amount of information can be perceived, even when observers do not experience any awareness of that perception.

A subliminal message is undetected by the normal limits of perception.

For example, a sound which is inaudible to the conscious mind, but interpreted by the deeper subconscious, or a image transmitted so briefly that is unperceived consciously.

Many studies where done regarding this subject, I give some interesting examples:

• It was proven that anesthetized patients are capable of recalling information that was obtained while they were in an unconscious state. Although they were not able to directly report the events, more indirect methods of examining proved that they could confirm information perceived when they were asleep.
• Blind patients due to neurological damage (mostly occipital lobe damage) can unconsciously obtain some visual information received by their visual field. That information is not interpreted consciously, and patients report it as an “instinct that something is there”.
• It was proven that the information received by our peripheral vision may bypass our consciousness and be integrated directly by our subconscious. Sometimes when reading a book, people “randomly” think about a word or idea, only to find that word or idea written in the following paragraph. I can personally relate to this example, as it happens a lot to me while studying.
• The 6th sense. It is believed that when someone has an unexplained bad feeling about a specific situation, it may be due to unconscious perceptions received in that context.

Some skeptics argue that this phenomenon is exploited by brands and political powers to influence people on a daily basis. However, this claim remains unproved, as there is no evidence to suggest that any serious attempt has been made to use the technology on mass audiences.

(are those lines straight?)
