Evidence that subliminal is not so 'sub'

The popular notion of subliminal information is that it streams into an unguarded mind, unchecked and unprocessed. However, neurobiologists' experiments are now revealing that the brain does consciously process subliminal information and that such processing influences how that subliminal information is perceived.

1. Subliminal advertising leaves its mark on the brain
   03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   UCL (University College London) researchers have found the first physiological evidence that invisible subliminal images do attract the brain's attention on a subconscious level. The wider implication for the study, published in Current Biology, is that techniques such as subliminal advertising, now banned in the UK but still legal in the USA, certainly do leave their mark on the brain.

4. Hubble yields direct proof of stellar sorting in a globular cluster
   10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A seven-year study with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided astronomers with the best observational evidence yet that globular clusters sort out stars according to their mass. Heavier stars slow down and sink to the cluster's core, while lighter stars pick up speed and move across the cluster to its periphery. This process, called "mass segregation," has long been suspected for globular star clusters, but has never before been directly seen in action.

5. Moon's escaping gasses expose fresh surface
   11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A fresh look at Apollo-era images combined with recent spectral data leads researchers to re-examine conventional wisdom. Several lines of evidence suggest that the moon may have seen eruptions of interior gasses as recently as one million years ago, rather than three billion years ago -- the date that has been most widely accepted.

6. Seismolgists get handle on heat flow deep in Earth
   11-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Earth's interior is not a benign world that only stores the geologic history of our planet. Geologists now see the inner Earth as a dynamic environment filled with exotic materials and substances roiling under intense heat and pressures. The latest evidence of this dynamic inner Earth is revealed in a recent series of measurements that peered deep within Earth, halfway to its center.

9. Outwardly expressed anger affects some women's heart arteries, says a new women-only study
   01-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers seeking to improve diagnostic and treatment tools for women with heart disease have found that the outward expression of anger and hostility is higher in certain women with suspected coronary artery disease. But anger and hostility also are associated with atypical cardiac symptoms in women who do not have angiographic evidence of heart disease. C. Noel Bairey Merz, principal investigator of the multicenter Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) Study, is available to discuss the research and its implications.
