Working memory (WM) extends the duration over which information is available for
processing. Given its importance in supporting a wide-array of high level cognitive abilities …

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 …

Neural representations of visual working memory (VWM) are noisy, and thus, decisions
based on VWM are inevitably subject to uncertainty. However, the mechanisms by which the …

Selectivity for many basic properties of visual stimuli, such as orientation, is thought to be
organized at the scale of cortical columns, making it difficult or impossible to measure …

In most environments, the visual system is confronted with many relevant objects
simultaneously. That is especially true during reading. However, behavioral data …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural codes for
representing stimulus information held in different states of priority in working memory …

To find important objects, we must focus on our goals, ignore distractions, and take our
changing environment into account. This is formalized in models of visual search whereby …

Visual imagery allows for the construction of rich internal experience in our mental world.
However, it has remained poorly understood how imagery experience derives volitionally as …

Priority map theory is a leading framework for understanding how various aspects of
stimulus displays and task demands guide visual attention. Per this theory, the visual system …

Subjective similarity holds a prominent place in many psychological theories, influencing
diverse cognitive processes ranging from attention and categorization to memory and …
