  2. Questions • Can we perceive what is happening in the world without being conscious of doing so? • Can we pick up signals from the world or from other people without using sensory channels?

  3. Subliminal Perception • Even when people are oblivious to speech sounds, they are processing & recognizing those sounds at some level • Above people’s absolute threshold (AT)

  4. Perceiving without awareness • A simple visual stimulus can affect your behavior even when you are unaware that you saw it

  5. Extrasensory Perception: Reality or Illusion? • Extrasensory Perception (ESP): • The ability to perceive something without ordinary sensory information • This has not been scientifically demonstrated

  6. Three types of ESP: • Telepathy – Mind-to-mind communication • Clairvoyance – Perception of remote events • Precognition – Ability to see future events
