"From what I've heard the most recent research on the brain makes the idea
of the "subconscious" look like a fairy tale."
Let's not confuse 'subconscious', the Freudian construct, with
'unconscious', which can be used to describe any brain process that is not
subject to introspection, such as those processes responsible for keeping
your heart beating. There aren't many scientists who would deny the
existence of unconscious cognition. The real controversy is in how
intelligent or sophisticated unconscious cognition can be.
