Consciously over Unconsciously Perceived Rewards Facilitate Self-face Processing: An ERP Study

Abstract Consciously and unconsciously perceived rewards are thought to modulate essential cognitive processes in different ways. However, little is known about whether and how they modulate higher-order social cognitive processes. The present ERP study aimed to investigate the effect of consciously...
