Subliminal in an unnoticeable way -- important, and hard to see

I find it interesting both that subliminals work

“If you almost remember somebody’s name, this can provide a little more kick to that so that you, in fact, do remember their name,” MIT spokesman Dr. Alex Pentland said. […]
hatever you need to remember is programmed into a tiny computer that you wear. The computer sends messages in the form of light to a mini TV screen on the glasses. The messages — like someone’s name, or a word like keys or medicine — flash before your eyes at 180th of a second. It’s too fast for the eyes to notice, but not the brain.

… and that people don’t realize it.

“Our tests have shown a 50 percent better memory with these than without, and the thing that’s interesting is that people aren’t even aware that anything is happening,” Pentland said.

But don’t worry. It’s not like our minds can be influenced without our conscious notice (hey, it’s flashback night here at MMG!)
