(6/7) STEP can be used with different masking techniques, stimulus manipulations, and awareness measures, making it suitable for many paradigms. Using this simple and validated procedure can improve the reliability and robustness of findings in the field

(5/7) We showed that participants were both subjectively and objectively unaware of the critical stimulus, but we still found unconscious priming effects, meaning the stimulus was strong enough to be processed unconsciously. This highlights the advantage of STEP

(4/7) After the simulations, we ran three experiments to further validate STEP. Each included a calibration phase followed by either a motor or affective priming task

(3/7) We introduce the Subliminal Threshold Estimation Procedure (STEP), a novel calibration method designed specifically for unconscious processing studies. Using simulations (github.com/EdenElbaz10/...), we show that STEP performs better than existing calibration methods

(2/7) A major challenge in unconscious processing research is ensuring that the critical stimulus is presented subliminally, while still being strong enough to allow for unconscious processing. One way to achieve this is by calibrating stimulus strength
