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

The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

Brain areas that control gaze are also recruited for covert shifts of spatial attention,,,,,,,–. In
the external space of perception, there is a natural ecological link between the control of …

Adaptive behavior relies on the selection of relevant sensory information from both the
external environment and internal memory representations. In understanding external …

For visual working memory to serve upcoming behavior, it is crucial that we prepare for the
potential use of working-memory contents ahead of time. Recent studies have demonstrated …

Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

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 …

Working memory bridges perception to action over extended delays, enabling flexible goal-
directed behaviour. To date, studies of visual working memory–concerned with detailed …

Perception is shaped by actions, which determine the allocation of selective attention across
the visual field. Here, we review evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is …

Humans make frequent movements of the eyes (saccades) to explore the visual
environment. Here, we argue that visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is a fundamental …
