Abstract: Previously, we found distinct neural mechanisms for conscious and unconscious tool representations using neuroimaging techniques. This study explored the specific content underlying unconscious tool representations using deep neural networks (DNNs). Results revealed that unconscious tool representation relies on visual features, texture and contour, not semantic information.
