You recognize your face even when you don't 'see' it

(Association for Psychological Science) Given the limited capacity of our attention, we only process a small amount of the sights, sounds, and sensations that reach our senses at any given moment -- what happens to the stimuli that reach our senses but don't enter awareness? Research suggests that certain stimuli -- specifically, your own face -- can influence how you respond without you being aware of it. The findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association of Psychological Science.
