•Contextual information can be decoded from non-stimulated areas of the early visual cortex even in the absence of line continuations.•Mnemonic content co-exists with contextual information in the early visual cortex.•Mnemonic content is a constituent part of feedback signals in V1 and V2 when it is accessed episodically but not semantically.
