Visual working memory refers to the ability to temporarily hold information in mind in the
service of behavior. Often, it is not sufficient to hold an abstract idea in mind to achieve our …

Visual working memory (WM) enables the use of past sensory experience in guiding
behavior. Yet, laboratory tasks commonly evaluate WM in a way that separates it from its …

In visual crowding, an item representation is degraded by adjacent flanker items. Recently,
the related phenomenon of visual working memory (VWM) crowding has been used to …

The role of the sensory visual cortex during visual short-term memory (VSTM) remains
controversial. This controversy is possibly due to methodological issues in previous attempts …

Our perceptual system processes only a selected subset of an incoming stream of stimuli
due to sensory biases and limitations in spatial and temporal attention and working memory …

Visual working memory is believed to rely on top-down attentional mechanisms that sustain
active sensory representations in early visual cortex. However, both bottom-up sensory input …

When performing working memory tasks, multisensory integration reveals multiple benefits.
In particular, throughout visual search or recognition tasks, increasing evidence reveals the …

In the emotional attentional blink (EAB; also termed emotion-induced blindness), a single
target in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream of fillers is difficult to report when it …

This thesis aims to examine the nature of spatial representations in visuospatial working
memory (VSWM) and the mechanism by which the oculomotor system supports VSWM …

The sensory visual cortex (SVC) is involved in encoding information in visual short-term
memory (VSTM). Yet, it remains unclear if the SVC is a necessary component of the brain …
