Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …

Covert spatial attention is associated with spatial modulation of neural activity as well as with
directional biases in fixational eye movements known as microsaccades. We studied how …

Expectations are a central maintaining mechanism in mental disorders and most
psychological treatments aim to directly or indirectly modify clinically relevant expectations …

As we move around, relevant information that disappears from sight can still be held in
working memory to serve upcoming behaviour. How we maintain and select visual …

Working memory provides flexible storage of information in service of upcoming behavioral
goals. Some models propose specific fixed loci and mechanisms for the storage of visual …

Besides controlling eye movements, the brain's oculomotor system has been implicated in
the control of covert spatial attention and the rehearsal of spatial information in working …

The brain is always intrinsically active, using energy at high rates while cycling through
global functional modes. Awake brain modes are tied to corresponding behavioural states …

Adaptive cognitive-control involves a hierarchical cortico-striatal gating system that supports
selective updating, maintenance, and retrieval of useful cognitive and motor information …

Abstract Space and time can each act as scaffolds for the individuation and selection of
visual objects in working memory. Here we ask whether there is a trade-off between the use …
