Oscillatory control over representational states in working memory
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 …

Alpha suppression indexes a spotlight of visual-spatial attention that can shine on both perceptual and memory representations
Although researchers have been recording the human electroencephalogram (EEG) for
almost a century, we still do not completely understand what cognitive processes are …

Transcranial photobiomodulation enhances visual working memory capacity in humans
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a safe and noninvasive intervention that has
shown promise for improving cognitive performance. Whether tPBM can modulate brain …

Dissecting the neural focus of attention reveals distinct processes for spatial attention and object-based storage in visual working memory
Complex cognition relies on both on-line representations in working memory (WM), said to
reside in the focus of attention, and passive off-line representations of related information …

Measuring memory is harder than you think: How to avoid problematic measurement practices in memory research
We argue that critical areas of memory research rely on problematic measurement practices
and provide concrete suggestions to improve the situation. In particular, we highlight the …

Contralateral delay activity tracks fluctuations in working memory performance
Neural measures of working memory storage, such as the contralateral delay activity (CDA),
are powerful tools in working memory research. CDA amplitude is sensitive to working …

Posterior α EEG dynamics dissociate current from future goals in working memory-guided visual search
Current models of visual search assume that search is guided by an active visual working
memory representation of what we are currently looking for. This attentional template for …

Mnemonic and attentional roles for states of attenuated alpha oscillations in perceptual working memory: a review
F van Ede - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Alpha oscillations are often reported to be amplified during working memory (WM) retention,
serving to disengage sensory areas to protect internal representations from external …

Visual working memory buffers information retrieved from visual long-term memory
Human memory is thought to consist of long-term storage and short-term storage
mechanisms, the latter known as working memory. Although it has long been assumed that …

Perturbing neural representations of working memory with task-irrelevant interruption
Working memory maintains information so that it can be used in complex cognitive tasks. A
key challenge for this system is to maintain relevant information in the face of task-irrelevant …
