Turning attention inside out: How working memory serves behavior
Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

The distributed nature of working memory
Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Shared memories reveal shared structure in neural activity across individuals
Our lives revolve around sharing experiences and memories with others. When different
people recount the same events, how similar are their underlying neural representations …

Changing concepts of working memory
Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

The role of prefrontal cortex in working memory: a mini review
A prominent account of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that single neurons within the PFC
maintain representations of task-relevant stimuli in working memory. Evidence for this view …

Coexisting representations of sensory and mnemonic information in human visual cortex
Traversing sensory environments requires keeping relevant information in mind while
simultaneously processing new inputs. Visual information is kept in working memory via …

[HTML][HTML] Short-term memory and long-term memory are still different.
D Norris - Psychological bulletin, 2017 - psycnet.apa.org
A commonly expressed view is that short-term memory (STM) is nothing more than activated
long-term memory. If true, this would overturn a central tenet of cognitive psychology—the …

Prior expectations induce prestimulus sensory templates
P Kok, P Mostert, FP De Lange - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Perception can be described as a process of inference, integrating bottom-up sensory inputs
and top-down expectations. However, it is unclear how this process is neurally implemented …

Shared representations for working memory and mental imagery in early visual cortex
Early visual areas contain specific information about visual items maintained in working
memory, suggesting a role for early visual cortex in more complex cognitive functions [1–4] …

Dissociable decoding of spatial attention and working memory from EEG oscillations and sustained potentials
In human scalp EEG recordings, both sustained potentials and alpha-band oscillations are
present during the delay period of working memory tasks and may therefore reflect the …
