A prominent theoretical framework spanning philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience
holds that selective attention penetrates early stages of perceptual processing to alter the …

According to most theories of attention, the selection of task-relevant visual information can
be enhanced by holding them in visual working memory (VWM). However, there has been a …

We explored the flow of information during visual search by examining activity indexing
visual attention (N2pc) and the subsequent processing of the selected objects in visual short …

While it is broadly accepted that attention modulates memory, the contribution of specific
rapid attentional processes to successful encoding is largely unknown. To investigate this …

We bisected the sequence of processing into operations taking place before or after the
engagement of visual–spatial attention during a difficult search task using event-related …

Decisions made about identical perceptual stimuli can be radically different under changing
task demands. For example, the need to make a fast decision undermines the accuracy of …

Neuronal hyperexcitability has emerged as a potential biomarker of late-onset early-stage
Alzheimer's disease (LEAD). We hypothesize that the aging-related posterior cortical …

It is perhaps surprising that if we know only that a process is accomplished by two or more
functionally distinct subprocesses carried out in stages with stochastically independent …

How do we know what we are looking for in familiar scenes and surroundings? Here we
tested a novel hypothesis derived from theories of human memory that working memory …
