  1. I would like to know more about the filter glasses method. Did they know what registered and what didn't based on which half of the brain saw activity?

  2. I'm interested to know if there is a difference in the unconscious processing of neutral versus emotionally-charged stimuli. Is the brain more likely, even when otherwise occupied, to process a subliminal image if it is associated with a strong affect?

  3. Do you know if there are similar results when looking at the effects of auditory subliminal messaging?

  4. I would like to know about the direct regions of the brain that are activated. Does our recognition of subliminal stimuli go beyond visual processing?

  5. I wonder if participants could 'feel' the subliminal message? That is to say, if they saw, say, a scary face, would they consciously feel fear for what their brain unconsciously processed?
