Stimuli can have intensity too low or duration too short for conscious awareness, but information affects behavior {preconscious processing}. EEG and brain blood flows indicate that sense regions, motor regions, association areas, emotion areas, and memory areas are active during unconscious processing.
If attentional load is high, people can be unaware of non-attended stimuli, but information affects behavior. Anesthetized patients can remember and process information, so unconscious processing can affect conscious perceptions. Brain-damaged patients can remember and process information, so unconscious processing can affect conscious perceptions.
