During moments involving selective attention, the thalamus orchestrates the preferential
processing of prioritized information by coordinating rhythmic neural activity within a …

In the visual world, attention is guided by perceptual goals activated in visual working
memory (VWM). However, planning multiple-task sequences also requires VWM to store …

To behave adaptively with sufficient flexibility, biological organisms must cognize beyond
immediate reaction to a physically present stimulus. For this, humans use visual mental …

In principle, selective attention is the net result of target selection and distractor suppression.
The way in which both mechanisms are implemented neurally has remained contested …

A growing body of research demonstrates that distracting inputs can be proactively
suppressed via spatial cues, nonspatial cues, or experience, which are governed by more …

Analyzing non-invasive recordings of electroencephalography (EEG) and
magnetoencephalography (MEG) directly in sensor space, using the signal from individual …

Recent advances in attention research have been propelled by the debate on target
enhancement versus distractor suppression. A predominant neural correlate of attention is …

Attention serves an essential role in cognition and behavior allowing us to focus on
behaviorally-relevant objects while ignoring distraction. Perceptual load theory states that …

Successful forgetting of unwanted memories is crucial for goal-directed behavior and mental
wellbeing. While memory retention strengthens memory traces, it is unclear what happens to …

We saccade 3 to 5 times per second when reading. However, little is known about the
neuronal mechanisms coordinating the oculomotor and visual systems during such rapid …
