Summary · Claims about veridical unconscious perception might have been premature. To assess veridical unconscious perception, apply the sensitivity analysis. We applied the sensitivity analysis to ERPs using two different stimulus sets. We found no evidence for veridical unconscious perception.
Summary · The two sections of this study do not represent strong evidence that IAF has predictive value for the performance of participants in tasks like the ones presented here. Exploratory analyses did show a tendency of higher performance being linked to higher individual alpha frequencies, but the present experiment did not result in clear effects. Especially the experimental designs to examine these effects need to be established, as well as a consensus on how to quantify the different characteristics of individual alpha frequencies.
