<p>Has mainstream science accepted the existence of unconscious? IN PRTICULAR : Does it attribute to it any role in psychosomatic disorders?</p>
<p>Edit: this is the only hit I had from &quot;the neuroscience of the unconscious&quot; :<a href="https://mindscience.org/videos/the-neuroscience-of-the-unconscious/;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mindscience.org/videos/the-neuroscience-of-the-unconscious/;</a> but they seem to confuse here unconscious with subliminal, which is a different cup of tea.
Other 'scientific' articles often confuse unconscious with involuntary</p>
<p>I don't know what kind of research you expect from me, the question is :neuroscience accepts the existence and deals with 'consciousness', now, since psychoanalysis is considered as pseudoscience, what is the status of unconscious as a subject capable of influencing thoughts, specch and action of a person??</p>

You refer to those who **confuse** "unconscious" with something else, but you haven't even defined what "unconscious" is to you. I think the accusation of *confusion* is misplaced. For example,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_mind refers to "processes in the mind which occur automatically and are not available to introspection and include thought processes, memories, interests, and motivations" and "unconscious phenomena include repressed feelings, automatic skills, subliminal perceptions, and automatic reactions,[1] and possibly also complexes, hidden phobias, and desires"
