Perceptually unidentifiable stimuli influence cortical processing and behavioral performance

Perceptually unidentifiable stimuli influence cortical processing and behavioral performance

Perceptually unidentifiable stimuli are encoded in the visual cortex, such as to facilitate their future processing in a task context. This form of priming may constitute a pre-attention mechanism using the mere frequency of stimulus occurrence to change stimulus representations, even when sensory i...
