Visual selective attention is the brain function that modulates ongoing processing of retinal
input in order for selected representations to gain privileged access to perceptual …

Memories are about the past, but they serve the future. Memory research often emphasizes
the former aspect: focusing on the functions that re-constitute (re-member) experience and …

We review a series of studies exploring distractor suppression. It is often assumed that
preparatory distractor suppression is controlled via top-down mechanisms of attention akin …

The efficient selection of behaviorally relevant objects from cluttered environments supports
our everyday goals. Attentional selection has typically been studied in search tasks involving …

Attention is strongly influenced by both external stimuli and internal goals. However, this
useful dichotomy does not readily capture the ubiquitous and often automatic contribution of …

The quintessential memory system in the human brain—the hippocampus and surrounding
medial temporal lobe—is often treated as a module for the formation of conscious, or …

Recent studies have linked variability in near‐threshold stimulus detection to fluctuations in
the prestimulus EEG alpha power (α,∼ 8–12 Hz). Typically, these studies rely on hit rate as …

Memory can strongly influence how attention is deployed in future encounters. Though
memory dependent on the medial temporal lobes has been shown to drive attention, how …

Attention and memory are intricately linked, but how attention modulates brain areas that
subserve memory, such as the hippocampus, is unknown. We hypothesized that attention …

Attention has historically been studied in the context of sensory systems, with the aim of
understanding how information in the environment affects the deployment of attention and …
