  1. Automatic unconscious knowledge- Tsushima, Sasaki, & Watanabe (2006). Science, 314. • Task-irrelevant sub-threshold coherent motion (irrelevant signals) led to a stronger disturbance in task performance than did supra-threshold motion (ineffective inhibitory control). • With the sub-threshold motion, activity in the visual cortex (measured by fMRI), was higher, but activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex was lower, than with supra-threshold motion. These results • Summary: Unconscious and unattended information can escape inhibitory control exerted by frontal areas and influence conscious processing of stimuli more powerfully than conscious stimuli. • See also research on mirror neurons (automatic unconscious knowledge of the intent of others at the neuronal level)
