“…This conflict was detected by changes in the neural activity of an individual in response to a target stimulus, and similar findings have been reported in previous studies on consciousness ( Boy et al, 2010 ; Wu et al, 2015 ). One study used the paradigm combining the supraliminal flankers around the target stimuli and subliminal prime; target-related P1, which is related to perception and attention processing, was sensitive to subliminal priming only in the prime-flanker congruency condition ( Jiang et al, 2023 ). Under the condition of prime-flanker incongruency, the higher processing requirements of the target stimulus may consume most of the attention resources, resulting in the prime stimulus being under-processed, thus decreasing or even eliminating the priming effect ( Clayson and Larson, 2011 ; Kuratomi and Yoshizaki, 2013 ; Stock et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Long-term participation in physical activities improves cognitive functions, especially in adolescents ( Chaddock et al, 2011 ). The cognitive function of people who engage in sports is advantageous in the consciousness as well as unconsciousness fields ( Jiang et al, 2021 , 2023 ), and the advantages in processing unconscious information is not only reflected in the reaction time, but also in the neural mechanism ( Güldenpenning et al, 2013 ; Calmels et al, 2018 ; Jiang et al, 2023 ). Due to the long-term participation in sports exercise, and the need for rapid decision-making and reaction in the sports scene, the nervous system of people who participate in regular sports may have specific changes.…”

IntroductionPeople who regularly exercise and receive training perform better when actioning unconscious cognitive tasks. The information flow triggered by a single unconscious visual stimulus has been extensively investigated, but it remains unclear whether multiple unconscious visual stimuli interact. This study aimed to explore the relationship between three simultaneous subliminal arrow stimuli (pointing in same or different directions), focusing on how they interact with each other and the subsequent priming effect on the target arrow in active and sedentary groups.MethodsWe used a priming paradigm combining flanker task to test the hypothesis. A total of 42 participants were recruited. Of these, 22 constituted the active group and 20 constituted the sedentary group.ResultsBehavioral data results revealed that the main effects of group and prime-target compatibility were significant. In the neurophysiological data, prime-target compatibility significantly influenced the latency of PP1. The amplitude of TP1 and TN2 mainly influenced the prime-flanker congruency. The prime-flanker congruency and groups interacted when the prime-target showed sufficient compatibility. The prime-flanker congruency, and the prime-target compatibility considerably influenced the TP3 amplitude in the anterior central frontal region (CZ electrode point).ConclusionEvent-related potentials revealed the interactions between conscious processing and subliminal conflict in the early stages of perceptual and attention processing (target-related P1 potential component). These results suggest that exercise is helpful for coping with unconscious cognitive conflict.

“…The eye perceives the stone and primes (i.e., prepares and instructs) muscles in the legs and feet as to how the runner should face the obstacle. This occurs in rapid processes of which the person is unaware; they are subconscious or subliminal [98][99][100][101]. Such subliminal priming processes in nature can stimulate and facilitate healing processes in the body and accelerate neurogenesis in the brain.…”

Since the 19th century, urban planning has largely been guided by ambitions to improve the population’s wellbeing and living conditions. Parks and green areas have played a significant role in this work. However, the confidence in the function of green areas, and thus the motives for creating urban parks and green open spaces, have shifted over the years, which has affected both the planning and design of green areas. This entry describes three overarching paradigm shifts in urban planning, from the end of the 18th century to today, and the focus is on the major paradigm shift that is underway: how green areas can mitigate climate effects, increase biodiversity and at the same time support people’s health and living conditions in a smart city.

Background: Neural efficiency refers to the brain’s ability to function with reduced resource expenditure while maintaining high performance levels. Previous research has demonstrated that table tennis athletes have greater neural efficiency at the conscious level. However, it is unknown whether they exhibit greater neural efficiency at the unconscious level. Therefore, this study aims to investigate unconscious perceptual processing and neural efficiency in elite table tennis athletes through tasks involving the judgment of spin serves. Methods: Fifty healthy, right-handed individuals participated in this study, including 25 elite table tennis athletes and 25 control participants without professional training experience. To evaluate the unconscious perceptual characteristics of both groups, we used a combination of masked priming paradigm and event-related potential techniques. Results: The behavioral results reveal that, compared to the control group, the table tennis athletes displayed reduced reaction times (p < 0.001) and increased priming effects (p < 0.001) under unconscious conditions. The electrophysiological findings indicated that both groups elicited N1, N2, and P2 components. Notably, compared to the control group, the table tennis athletes exhibited significantly lower amplitude responses at the occipital lobe electrodes PO3, POz, PO4, O1, Oz, and O2 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: These results further support the neural efficiency hypothesis, indicating that prolonged professional training enhances athletes’ capacities for specialized unconscious cognitive processing.
