Subliminal versus supraliminal stimuli activate neural responses in anterior cingulate cortex fusiform gyrus and insula: a meta-analysis of fMRI studies

摘要

BackgroundNon-conscious neural activation may underlie various psychological functions in health and disorder. However, the neural substrates of non-conscious processing have not been entirely elucidated. Examining the differential effects of arousing stimuli that are consciously, versus unconsciously perceived will improve our knowledge of neural circuitry involved in non-conscious perception. Here we conduct preliminary analyses of neural activation in studies that have used both subliminal and supraliminal presentation of the same stimulus.
