subliminal-ads v1.0.2
subliminal-ads.js — show subliminal messages and images on your webpage
Background
The following is taken from a the WikiPedia page
Applications of subliminal stimuli often base themselves on the persuasiveness of the message. Importantly, research on action priming has shown that subliminal stimuli can trigger only actions a receiver of the message plans to perform anyway. However, consensus of subliminal messaging remains unsubstantiated by other research. Most actions can be triggered subliminally only if the person is already prepared to perform a specific action.
Warning
Although there is no scientific consensus on the efficacy of whether subliminal messages would prime a customer into purchasing a product, it is based on around the priming concept, so usage should take this into consideration. One such study showed the effects of priming a group of participants with "old" words made them walk slower down a hallway.
It may also be unethical to do this without gaining the consent of your visitors.
