Working memory (WM) constitutes a fundamental aspect of human cognition. It refers to the
ability to keep information active for further use, while allowing it to be prioritized, modified …

Neural encoding of pitch in the auditory brainstem is shaped by long-term experience with
language. The aim herein was to determine to what extent this experience-dependent effect …

Previous animal research has revealed neuronal activity underlying short-term retention of
vibrotactile stimuli, providing evidence for a parametric representation of stimulus frequency …

Objects are one of the most fundamental units in visual attentional selection and information
processing. Studies have shown that, during object-based processing, all features of an …

An active debate in the learning and memory literature centers on the question of whether
the perirhinal cortex, part of the medial temporal lobe (MTL), plays its major role in …

Visual imagery–similar to visual perception–activates feature-specific and category-specific
visual areas. This is frequently observed in experiments where the instruction is to imagine …

Neurons in a distributed network of cortical and subcortical areas continue to discharge after
the presentation and disappearance of stimuli, providing a neural correlate for working …

Cortical areas involved in sensory analysis are also believed to be involved in short-term
storage of that sensory information. Here we investigated whether transcranial magnetic …

Neurophysiological data suggest that the integration of prior information and incoming
sensory evidence represents the neural basis of the decision-making process. Here, we …

When faced with inconclusive or conflicting visual input human observers experience one of
multiple possible perceptions. One factor that determines perception of such an ambiguous …
