I am a believer in unconscious cerebration. The brain is working all the time, though we do not know it. At night, it follows up what we think in the daytime. When I have worked a long time on one thing, I make it a point to bring all the facts regarding it together before I retire; and I have often been surprised at the results. Have you not noticed that, often, what was dark and perplexing to you the night before, is found to be perfectly solved the next morning? We are thinking all the time; it is impossible not to think.

I turned my attention to the study of some arithmetical questions apparently without much success and without a suspicion of any connection with my preceding researches. Disgusted with my failure, I went to spend a few days at the seaside and thought of something else. One morning, walking on the bluff, the idea came to me, with just the same characteristics of brevity, suddenness and immediate certainty, that the arithmetic transformations of indefinite ternary quadratic forms were identical with those of non-Euclidian geometry.

Most striking at first is this appearance of sudden illumination, a manifest sign of long, unconscious prior work. The role of this unconscious work in mathematical invention appears to me incontestable, and traces of it would be found in other cases where it is less evident. Often when one works at a hard question, nothing good is accomplished at the first attack. Then one takes a rest, longer or shorter, and sits down anew to the work. During the first half-hour, as before, nothing is found, and then all of a sudden the decisive idea presents itself to the mind. It might be said that the conscious work has been more fruitful because it has been interrupted and the rest has given back to the mind its force and freshness.

The subliminal self is in no way inferior to the conscious self; it is not purely automatic; it is capable of discernment; it has tact, delicacy; it knows how to choose, to divine. What do I say? It knows better how to divine than the conscious self, since it succeeds where that has failed.

Stumbled upon it today. Kinda interesting...

Don't think that it could happen to you? Sorry, but a first-of-its-kind study shows that it could — easily. With a little misinformation, encouragement and three hours, researchers were able to convince 70 percent of the study's participants that they'd committed a crime.

And the college-aged students who participated in the study didn't merely confess — they recalled full-blown, detailed experiences, says lead researcher Julia Shaw, a lecturer in forensic psychology from the University of Bedfordshire.

What Your Movements May Reveal About How You’ll Get Along With Another Person

We show that different individuals have different motor signatures,” she said. “In other words, individuals could be classified based on the way they move.” Namely, the extent to which your movements are similar to another person’s can determine how easily you can coordinate with that person and how similar your behaviors are. The research, which was published on the Journal Interface on Wednesday, involved a series of three experiments and about 82 participants. Some of the participants were asked to play a “plain mirror game,” in which two players imitated each other’s movements, which were tracked and analyzed. It turned out that the players who were better at mimicking each other’s movements — including qualities like speed and weight of movement — also exhibited more collective behaviors. By comparing the two individuals’ movement signatures, the researchers could also determine the level of comfort and rapport in the relationship.

Personality Traits Can Be Determined By How You Move, According To Study

We use hand gestures and body language to express ourselves all the time, but a new study finds that even the most subtle aspects of the way you move may reveal personality traits. The research, by specialists in mathematics and engineering from universities in the UK, France, and Italy, suggests that each of us has an “individual motor signature” (IMS), “a blueprint of the subtle differences in the way [one person moves] compared to someone else.” The study also reveals that, even when people try to mimic the movements of others, their individual motor signatures will still shine through. So when a guy says he “moves like Jagger,” he is, in fact, mistaken — because it turns out that, literally,no one moves like Jagger but Jagger.

Haven't worked myself through the study and there was not a lot of material when I quick google searched it, but it's still kinda interesting. Link to Study.
