If the two fields refer to more or less similar mechanisms, we propose that their opposition rests on an epistemological misunderstanding. We show that each of these postulates is the subject of empirical and theoretical works. They posit: (1) that some psychological processes are unconsciously performed and causally determine conscious processes, (2) that they are governed by their own cognitive rules, (3) that they set out their own intentions, (4) and that they lead to a conflicting organization of psyche. The aim of this paper consists in examining the four basic postulates of Freudian unconscious at the light of neurocognitive sciences. Nowadays, we are witnessing a certain convergence between both fields.
