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 inputs are perceptually invisible.
