What kind of subliminals will you be using?
A
Silent Subliminal is defined as a subliminal file compiled using Lowry's silent subliminal presentation system (US Patent 5,159,703 granted on October 27, 1992).
According to the
Audacity Forum on
Silent Subliminals:
- You will need either high quality speakers, or ultrasonic transducers to be able to play the resulting sound.
- If you play back this recording over normal speakers, there is a risk that it could burn out the tweeters. It is essential that you do not turn the volume up beyond normal listening levels. Even at normal listening levels there is a risk that it could destroy the tweeters in the speakers as the high frequency content is far higher than in standard audio recordings.
- Many experts in the field of subliminal messaging claim that if your ears cannot hear it, then it will have no subliminal effect, but that if your ears can hear it, then it will be extremely irritating to listen to.
- It is essential that you do not listen to this recording at high volume level as it could cause permanent damage to your hearing. This is especially important if you listen through headphones. KEEP THE PLAYBACK VOLUME LOW.
- Many commercially available "silent subliminal" are totally safe to use because they really are silent (no sound at all). The technique described here is not "silent" - there will be high frequency sound that may be above or close to the limit of your hearing threshold, but it is not silent - hence the important warnings. Use at your own risk, but please heed the warnings.
- I make no claims regarding the safety or effectiveness of this technique. It is only intended as a demonstration of a simple implementation of Lowry's silent subliminal presentation system (US Patent 5,159,703 October 27, 1992).
Emphasis -- bold and red bold -- is in the original document. {Much, much more technical information than most people could possibly want is available here and in the pages referenced:
http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 13&t=53615 ... There are pages dedicated to technical discussion about using two interfering ultra-high frequencies to make what you actually "hear" centered around 15500 kHz or 17500 kHz. There is also discussion on how to test a file to see if a given recording contains messages or nothing and information is given on how to recover the original recording so you can actually hear the suggestions. The "blank" subliminals will probably need to contain some innocuous suggestions.]
I would be willing to use the left-handed Silent Subliminal.
If this study is done correctly, you could write this up and possibly have it published in a scholarly journal dedicated to hypnosis, subliminals, and/or psychology. I'm sure there are some journals of this type in existence; there are scholarly magazines dedicated to everything else.
