Cognitive neuroscience seeks generalizable theories explaining the relationship between
behavioral, physiological and mental states. In pursuit of such theories, we propose a …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Working memory (WM) has limited capacity. This leaves attention with the important role of
allowing into storage only the most relevant information. It is increasingly evident that …

Human fMRI signals exhibit a spatial patterning that contains detailed information about a
person's mental states. Using classifiers it is possible to access this information and study …

Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …

Recent studies have provided conflicting accounts regarding where in the human brain
visual short-term memory (VSTM) content is stored, with strong univariate fMRI responses …

For more than 50 years, psychologists and neuroscientists have recognized the importance
of a working memory to coordinate processing when multiple goals are active and to guide …

What are the neural mechanisms underlying working memory (WM)? One influential theory
posits that neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) store WM information via persistent …

Recent human fMRI pattern-decoding studies have highlighted the involvement of sensory
areas in visual working memory (VWM) tasks and argue for a sensory account of VWM …

Working memory (WM) enables the storage and manipulation of information in an active
state. WM storage has long been associated with sustained increases in activation across a …
