(A) Representation of the brain regions demonstrating an Alerting State x Awareness x Time interaction. All these regions demonstrated larger signal intensity for seen targets than for unseen targets when no alerting tone was presented. The figure represents the time interval where the differences in signal intensity started to be significant in each region, with cue onset at time 0. (B) Averaged signal intensity time courses for the regions demonstrating a significant Alerting State x Awareness interaction. (C) Averaged signal intensity time courses of the region demonstrating a significant Validity x Awareness interaction (left and right Thalamus). Time 0 represents the moment of cue onset; the target was presented 2 s (an MR frame) later. Asterisks represent significantly larger signal intensity for seen versus unseen targets at different time points (p < 0.05, Bonferroni corrected).
