Working memory representations in visual cortex mediate distraction effects
Although the contents of working memory can be decoded from visual cortex activity, these
representations may play a limited role if they are not robust to distraction. We used model …

Adapting visual complexity based on electrodermal activity improves working memory performance in virtual reality
Biocybernetic loops encompass users' state detection and system adaptation based on
physiological signals. Current adaptive systems limit the adaptation to task features such as …

When the mind's eye prevails: The Internal Dominance over External Attention (IDEA) hypothesis
S Verschooren, T Egner - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2023 - Springer
Throughout the 20th century, the psychological literature has considered attention as being
primarily directed at the outside world. More recent theories conceive attention as also …

Negative emotion reduces visual working memory recall variability: A meta-analytical review.
Negative emotion is often hypothesized to trigger a more deliberate processing mode. This
effect can manifest as increased precision of information maintained in working memory …

Essential considerations for exploring visual working memory storage in the human brain
Visual working memory (VWM) relies on a distributed cortical network. Yet, the extent to
which individual cortical areas, like early visual cortex and intraparietal sulcus, are essential …

[HTML][HTML] Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening
tasks is an ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal …

Attention rhythmically samples multi-feature objects in working memory
Attention allows us to selectively enhance processing of specific locations or features in our
external environment while filtering out irrelevant information. It is currently hypothesized …
