Empirical support for higher-order theories of conscious awareness
H Lau, D Rosenthal - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2011 - cell.com
Higher-order theories of consciousness argue that conscious awareness crucially depends
on higher-order mental representations that represent oneself as being in particular mental …

[HTML][HTML] Predicting the orientation of invisible stimuli from activity in human primary visual cortex
Humans can experience aftereffects from oriented stimuli that are not consciously perceived,
suggesting that such stimuli receive cortical processing. Determining the physiological …

The serial reaction time task: implicit motor skill learning?
EM Robertson - Journal of Neuroscience, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Since its development 20 years ago, the serial reaction time task (SRTT) has gone from
being a tool used by psychologists (Nissen and Bullemer, 1987) to one that, in the last few …

Subliminal smells can guide social preferences
It is widely accepted that unconscious processes can modulate judgments and behavior, but
do such influences affect one's daily interactions with other people? Given that olfactory …

Unconscious activation of the cognitive control system in the human prefrontal cortex
HC Lau, RE Passingham - Journal of Neuroscience, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we tested whether unconscious information
can influence the cognitive control system in the human prefrontal cortex. Volunteers had to …

Human observers have optimal introspective access to perceptual processes even for visually masked stimuli
MAK Peters, H Lau - Elife, 2015 - elifesciences.org
Many believe that humans can 'perceive unconsciously'–that for weak stimuli, briefly
presented and masked, above-chance discrimination is possible without awareness …

Frontal cortex mediates unconsciously triggered inhibitory control
To further our understanding of the function of conscious experience we need to know which
cognitive processes require awareness and which do not. Here, we show that an …
