To determine the specific contribution of brain regions to working memory, human
participants performed two distinct tasks on the same visually presented objects. During the …

Our capacity to store information in working memory might be determined by the degree to
which only relevant information is remembered. The question remains as to how this …

Visual working memory (VWM), the ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate
information, underlies a variety of critical high-level behaviours from directing attention,,–to …

Working memory involves the short-term maintenance of an active representation of
information so that it is available for further processing. Visual working memory tasks, in …

Working memory is the process of actively maintaining a representation of information for a
brief period of time so that it is available for use. In monkeys, visual working memory …

Previous studies have shown that information held in visual working memory is represented
in the occipital, parietal, and frontal cortices. However, less is known about whether the …

Items held in working memory can be either attended or not, depending on their current
behavioral relevance. It has been suggested that unattended contents might be solely …

Visual working memory provides an essential link between perception and higher cognitive
functions, allowing for the active maintenance of information about stimuli no longer in view …

Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

Findings from neurophysiology have supported the view that visual working memory (WM)
relies on modulation of activity in object-selective populations of neurons in inferior temporal …
