“…The main finding of this experiment consists of the demonstration that arousing subliminal stimuli can bias the decision-making during navigation tasks in an immersive mixed-reality system. However, despite the relevance of these results, as emerged in the abovementioned work [5], the magnitude of the observed effect was comparable with that reported in the related literature but quite weak to effectively support realistic applications.…”

“…In the first of these studies [5], the use of subliminal stimuli has been considered to covertly bias the selection behavior among objects in a 3D virtual environment. The participants' task was to select one food item out of two options in a 3D model of a refrigerator, pick it up, and place it on an adjacent table.…”

“…To briefly sum up, subliminal stimulation seems to be suitable for a variety of uses in concrete scenarios as those of memory retrieval [9] and problem solving [13] to bias decisionmaking in selection behavior [5,16] and navigation tasks [4]. In the specific context of symbiotic systems, such potential can be exploited to assist the user during critical phases or to manage his interaction without interrupting the task at hand [3] or generating mental workload [8,9].…”

Abstract. Subliminal perception is a long-standing topic in psychology, which has been strongly debated throughout the twentieth century. Recently, unconscious information processing has gained attention in human-computer interaction (HCI) research on the basis that subliminal stimulation can covertly trigger automatic responses without generating mental workload. The aim is to increase the interaction efficiency between humans and systems by embedding subliminal stimuli in user interfaces. Moreover, the currently thriving research on adaptive and symbiotic systems makes the interest for unconscious processes even greater.The purpose of the present paper is to give an overview of both the most recent findings about subliminal stimuli applied to concrete contexts and the main stimulation techniques to obtain unconscious perception. The techniques reviewed here are the binocular rivalry, visual masking, visual crowding, and rapid serial visual presentation with some latest variants of these classic paradigms.

“…This model is for the emerging egocentric interaction paradigm what the virtual desktop is for the PC/WIMP (window, icon, menu, pointing device) interaction paradigm: more or less everything of interest to a 1. Subtle highlighting: perhaps the most subtle way of directing attention is subliminal cueing [5]. Aranyi et.…”

Persuasive technologies aim to influence user’s behaviors. In order to be effective, many of the persuasive technologies de-veloped so far relies on user’s motivation and ability, which is highly variable and often the reason behind the failure of such technology. In this paper, we present the concept of Mindless Computing, which is a new approach to persuasive technology design. Mindless Computing leverages theories and concepts from psychology and behavioral economics into the design of technologies for behavior change. We show through a systematic review that most of the current persuasive technologies do not utilize the fast and automatic mental processes for behavioral change and there is an opportunity for persuasive technology designers to develop systems that are less reliant on user’s motivation and ability. We describe two examples of mindless technologies and present pilot studies with encouraging results. Finally, we discuss design guidelines and considerations for developing this type of persuasive technology.
