Unconscious Memory
About
This network was funded from June 2014 - June 2016.
‘What is the unconscious? Where is it? How does it affect our conscious experiences?' The Unconscious Memory Network was forum where humanists and neuroscientists discussed and exchanged their research findings on diverse aspects of the unconscious, in particular unconscious memory. We aimed to bring together scholars from Oxford and beyond as well as to involve new researchers, students, and people from outside the research community.
