![]() These preliminary data provide candidate brain regions for further study in to the neural correlates of conscious experience. The anterior cingulate is perhaps a key brain region for the integration of conscious and non-conscious processing. Non-conscious processing of arousing stimuli may involve primary visual areas and may also recruit the insula, a brain area involved in eventual interoceptive awareness. Supraliminal stimuli show significantly increased activation in the left rostral anterior cingulate. Subliminal stimuli are linked to significantly increased activation in the right fusiform gyrus and right insula. The anterior cingulate cortex is significantly activated during both subliminal and supraliminal stimulus presentation. We included a total of 193 foci from 9 studies representing subliminal stimulation and 315 foci from 10 studies representing supraliminal stimulation. We use Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) to examine functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies that uniquely present the same stimuli subliminally and supraliminally to healthy participants during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Here we conduct preliminary analyses of neural activation in studies that have used both subliminal and supraliminal presentation of the same stimulus. ![]() 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. However, the neural substrates of non-conscious processing have not been entirely elucidated. ![]() Non-conscious neural activation may underlie various psychological functions in health and disorder.
