Influencing that system to pay attention to your message, understand it, retain it, feel a preference for it and change behavior to your benefit as a result of it requires a deep understanding of how the mind works. The following super-summarizes what we've learned from Neurobiology experts about how the mind works.

• The mind's perceptive process begins when the eye transmits what it sees to the occipital lobe of the brain, where it's registered as an inverted, two-dimensional representation of the object.
• The brain interprets what it sees, turning the inverted two dimensional viewed object into an upright image with a three-dimensional appearance.
• People don't notice this instantaneous process on a conscious level. Why? Because of the brain's massive ability to quickly process vast amounts of visual stimuli.
• In fact, the brain's massive ability to quickly process vast amounts of visual stimuli, leads many to believe their opinions are carefully considered and well thought out, when the reality is that they happen extremely quickly and mostly on an unconscious level.
• Research shows that once someone's formed an opinion about something they read or 'saw', it's very hard for them to change their opinion. Sometimes, even in the face of contradictory facts.
• The conscious awareness and recall of a frequent and highly visible message can influence a person's perceptions about a company's overall image and the 'perceived quality' of that company's products and services. This can ultimately giving businesses greater control over their image in the marketplace and enables companies to command a price premium.
