Gene for left-handedness is found

Catholic school teachers everywhere rejoice, for the diabolical malady can now be cured!

(oops. I'm showing my age, huh? I had lots of pseudo-ambidextrous friends growing up, all of whom spent a few years in Catholic school...)

I question the term "unconscious", though the main article is titled subconscious brain. I can buy that a part of our thinking process is "below awareness", but I don't buy unconscious processes. The experiments were clever, but they don't necessarily illustrate what the researchers were trying to show.

Many subconscious processes can be brought to awareness with the right focus. Unconscious implies we can't access these processes.

So you, as a psychologist, only believe there are conscious and subconscious processes in the brain?
