Do subliminals work?
Do subliminals work? As you’ll see here, there’s a wealth of scientific research and evidence to prove the impact of subliminal messages. Some of this research explores visual subliminal stimulation while other studies explore audible subliminal messages. Some studies show how effective subliminal messages can influence choices and behaviours while others shed a light on the long-term effects of subliminal messages. This is all interesting food for thought, which generally suggests:
Different types of subliminal messages can influence different types of behavioural changes
Subliminal messages can have a long-term effect on behaviour
Although it’s worth remembering that subliminal hypnosis audios always work best when listened to with an open and accepting mind by people who want to make a positive change or achieve self-development. With all this in mind, the most useful evidence are the experiences of our customers who, like Subliminals 4U’s founder David Carson, have seen the positive effects of subliminal self-help first-hand.

Effectiveness of Subliminal Messages and Their Influence on People’s Choices Rania Karam, Mohamad Abou Haidar, Abbas Khawaja, Ghida Al Laziki.European Scientific Journal, Volume 13, No 17, 2017.
Abstract: This article provides definitions for the conscious and subconscious minds and shows their relation with the subliminal messages which are also defined. The subliminal CDs, the way they function, and how they are recorded are explained in details. In addition, an interview with an expert in subliminal messages was conducted to enrich the article with more technical details. Moreover, the main objective of the research study was to show the effectiveness of the subliminal messages, and therefore to prove the influence they have on people’s choices in the auditory system. For this purpose, two experiments were carried out. The results proved that the experimental hypothesis is true: subliminal messages affect and influence the participants’ choice.
Subliminal messages exert long-term effects on decision-making Simon Ruch, Marc Alain Züst, Katharina Henke.Neuroscience of Consciousness, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016.
Abstract: Subliminal manipulation is often considered harmless because its effects typically decay within a second. So far, subliminal long-term effects on behavior were only observed in studies which repeatedly presented highly familiar information such as single words. These studies suggest that subliminal messages are only slowly stored and might not be stored at all if they provide novel, unfamiliar information. We speculated that subliminal messages might affect delayed decision-making especially if messages contain several pieces of novel information that must be relationally bound in long-term memory. Relational binding engages the hippocampal memory system, which can rapidly encode and durably store novel relations. Here, we hypothesized that subliminally presented stimulus pairs would be relationally processed influencing the direction of delayed conscious decisions. In experiment 1, subliminal face–occupation pairs affected conscious decisions about the income of these individuals almost half an hour later. In experiment 2, subliminal presentation of vocabulary of a foreign language enabled participants to later decide whether these foreign words are presented with correct or incorrect translations. Subliminal influence did not significantly decay if probed after 25 versus 15 min. This is unprecedented evidence of the longevity and impact of subliminal messages on conscious, rational decision-making.
Automatic Effects of Brand Exposure on Motivated Behavior: How Apple Makes You “Think Different”Grainne M Fitzsimons, Tanya L Chartrand, Gavin J Fitzsimons. Journal of Consumer Research, 2008
Abstract: This article first examines whether brand exposure elicits automatic behavioral effects as does exposure to social primes. Results support the translation of these effects: participants primed with Apple logos behave more creatively than IBM primed and controls; Disney-primed participants behave more honestly than E!- primed participants and controls. Second, this article investigates the hypothesis that exposure to goal-relevant brands (i.e., those that represent a positively valenced characteristic) elicits behavior that is goal directed in nature. Three experiments demonstrate that the primed behavior showed typical goal-directed qualities, including increased performance postdelay, decreased performance postprogress, and moderation by motivation.
Using Background Music to Affect the Behavior of Supermarket Shoppers Ronald E. MillimanThe Journal of Marketing , Vol. 46, No. 3 (Summer, 1982), pp. 86-91
Abstract: This paper critically reviews the literature available and presents an empirical study that examines the effects of background music on in-store shopping behavior. It finds that music tempo variations can significantly affect the pace of in-store traffic flow and dollar sales volume
