Journal Article
Neural basis of non-conscious visual working memory
2014
Overview
Recent research indicates that human observers can perform high-level cognitive tasks typically associated with working memory processes (e.g. learning of complex item sequences, reading, arithmetic or delayed visual discrimination) independently of conscious awareness of the relevant information. However, the neural basis of this phenomenon is not known. Here we show neuroimaging and neurostimulation evidence that the dorsolateral and anterior prefrontal cortex can operate on non-conscious information in a manner that goes beyond automatic forms of sensorimotor priming and which may support implicit working memory processes and higher-level cognitive function.
•Tested the relationship between working memory and conscious awareness.•Probed the neural basis of working memory without awareness.•PFC mediates successful working memory performance for non-conscious cues.•Non-conscious working memory processes can be modulated by PFC-tDCS.
