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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Learning and generalization in spatial domains is often thought to rely on a “cognitive map”,
representing relationships between spatial locations. Recent research suggests that this …

Attention has frequently been regarded as an emergent property of linking sensory
representations to action plans. It has recently been proposed that similar mechanisms may …

Working memory allows us to retain visual information to guide upcoming future behavior. In
line with this future-oriented purpose of working memory, recent studies have shown that …

Our eyes do not only respond to visual perception but also to internal cognition involving
visual imagery, which can be referred to as internal coupling. This review synthesizes …

Corollary discharge (CD) signals are motor-related signals that exert an influence on
sensory processing. They allow mobile organisms to predict the sensory consequences of …
