Subliminal perception is termed to occur whenever stimuli are introduced below the threshold or limen for awareness is found to affect feeling, thoughts or actions. This term was originally used to describe situations in which weak stimuli were achieved without awareness, nowadays the term is being used to generally stipulate situations where unnoticed stimuli may be perceived. The concept behind this act is of considerable interest and complicated because it implicates people actions, thoughts and feelings can be deterred by use of stimuli and more so change witnessed without an individual awareness. The interest reflects the psychological studies conducted in late 1800 where individuals picked randomly were asked to note awareness when certain stimuli were introduced, visual stimuli such as letters or geometric figures were presented at a distance and observers asked to identify visibility, likewise auditory stimuli such as names were whispered faintly that observes claimed they were unable to hear any sound whatsoever. To test whether such stimuli were received contrary to the observers awareness, individual were asked to make guesses in regards to the stimuli, for instance if the stimuli were half letters and half digits observers were asked to guess whether the a letter or a digit was presented. Consistent result regarding the guesses proved that stimuli was well received despite the observers awareness, this was based by the number of correct guesses an individual gave at the end of each question. Contrary to the observer’s initial answers of inability to see images or hear sounds, their correct guesses indicated that subliminal perceptions were actually achieved. Over the years similar studies have been done all giving good accurate results. These results have brought about outstanding facts about subliminal perception, this facts rise to the use of subliminal symbols in most of the products offered to the public. Some studies done in 1970 by Bryan Key reports that effect of subliminal seduction in most of the products sold in markets to day, as most marketers always report sex sells, anything that connotes sex is bond to have a ready market. Based on this fact Key reports that some products have embedded sex subliminal which are only processed by the preconscious mind, an individual going through a market products will find unexplained fondness towards the product driving him or her to make purchases. The attraction to the product is due to sexual arousal or attraction which is attained subliminally to affect such an act. This fact has not been openly proved or downplayed but as history reports, this may be the main reason subliminal content were ban in advertising in early 1980’s. Subliminal perception is quite powerful if used to attain certain self development acts, for instance subliminal messages can be used to correct certain bad habits.
