Dear Editor,
November 25, 2009-When his friend came and asked are there any secrets to how subliminal messages work, Ravivaarman Batumalai, a hypnosis and persuasion niche researcher who wrote the article on subliminal messages, http://www.articlesbase.com/nlp-hypnosis-articles/subliminal-messages-are-there-any-secrets-to-how-subliminal-messages-work-1499047.html, wanted to answer the question.
There are now some companies that produce or create subliminal messages in their marketing campaigns. They record audio backwards and sell these tapes to consumers in order to help them with problems such as low self esteem or depression. Unfortunately, studies have not found any evidence that this really works or prove effective
Other kinds of subliminal messaging has been tried and tested, but there is no concrete evidence that it has any effect on consumer behavior. Flashing anything longer than a word or two, or playing recorded speech backwards doesn''t work at all.
"There''re some theories on the capability of subliminal messages to influence people''s behavior but certainly there''re no proven scientific evidence", says Ravivaarman Batumalai who gives away FREE e-course on hypnosis mind control at www.5triggers.com.
In one experiment subjects were shown the name of a soft drink for a very short amount of time. Afterwards they were more likely to choose that drink than the control group who had not received the message.
In another different experiment subjects were shown the word "beef."
Surprisingly, this did not cause them to prefer beef afterwards, but it did make them hungrier than the control group.
"Even though some types of subliminal messaging does have an effect, there is no need to worry about what it might make you do" says Ravivaarman Batumalai .
