Subliminal explorations of perception, dreams, and fantasies Book

Description of Content: Today, psychology is on the threshold of addressing the nature of unconscious processes, not simply their existence. Subliminal research has been a multidisciplinary area since the early 1960s: cognitive science, social psychology, personality, and neuroscience have contributed hundreds of studies over this period. This is far different from the early 1950s when mainly psychoanalytic investigators such as Charles Fisher, a pioneer in the field, produced a handful of studies. This volume brings together in one place the corpus of Charles Fisher's subliminal investigations. Table of Contents: 1) Dreams and Perception: The Role of Preconscious and Primary Modes of Perception in Dream Formation 2) Dreams, Images, and Perception: A Study of Unconscious-Preconscious Relationships 3) A Study of the Preliminary Stages of the Construction of Dreams and Images 4) Further Observations on the Potzl Phenomenon 5) The Effect of Subliminal Visual Stimulation 6) Subliminal Visual Stimulation: A study of its Influence 7) Changes in the Effects of a Waking Subliminal Stimulus 8) Eye Fixation Behavior as a Function of Awareness
