These are the transcripts and reports from a U.S. House of Representatives hearing held in 1984 on subliminal communication technology---the process by which an individual is presented with information without that individual being made aware specifically of that information, but to which they make a selective response. The message, which is usually in the form of words, pictures or voices, is presented so rapidly or faintly that the person seeing or hearing the message is not consciously aware of seeing or hearing anything.
