AbstractThe relationship between conscious awareness and decisions has been heavily debated. Here we investigated whether subliminal probabilities are integrated with conscious rewards to form subjective value (SV) representations in the anterior ventral striatum (aVS) and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Participants played an incentivized competitive game with risky choice to accumulate points across trials in a behavioral and fMRI experiment.
