Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …

Sensory working memory consists of the short-term storage of sensory stimuli to guide
behaviour. There is increasing evidence that elemental sensory dimensions—such as object …

Many models of cognition and of neural computations posit the use and estimation of prior
stimulus statistics,,,: it has long been known that working memory and perception are …

Extensive work in humans using magneto-and electroencephalography strongly suggests
that decreased oscillatory α-activity (8–14 Hz) facilitates processing in a given region …

Humans and monkeys have similar abilities to discriminate the difference in frequency
between two mechanical vibrations applied sequentially to the fingertips,,. A key component …

The neural basis of time perception is unknown. Here we show that neurons in the posterior
parietal cortex (area LIP) represent elapsed time relative to a remembered duration. We …

The sensation of flutter is produced when mechanical vibrations in the range of 5–50 Hz are
applied to the skin,,. A flutter stimulus activates neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex …

Networks adapt to environmental demands by switching between distinct dynamical
behaviors. The activity of frontal-lobe neurons during two-interval discrimination tasks is an …

Recent studies combining psychophysical and neurophysiological experiments in behaving
monkeys have provided new insights into how several cortical areas integrate efforts to …

The ability to discriminate between two sequential stimuli requires evaluation of current
sensory information in reference to stored information. Where and how does this evaluation …
