Recent human fMRI pattern-decoding studies have highlighted the involvement of sensory
areas in visual working memory (VWM) tasks and argue for a sensory account of VWM …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

The dorsal attention network is consistently involved in verbal and visual working memory
(WM) tasks and has been associated with task-related, top–down control of attention. At the …

Visual short-term memory serves as an efficient buffer for maintaining no longer directly
accessible information. How robust are visual memories against interference? Memory for …

Interference disrupts information processing across many timescales, from immediate
perception to memory over short and long durations. The widely held similarity assumption …

Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that activity patterns in early visual areas predict
stimulus properties actively maintained in visual working memory. Yet, the mechanisms by …

One approach to the issue of a joint in nature between perception and cognition is to
investigate whether the concepts of perception and cognition can be tweaked to avoid direct …

Means and standard deviations of psychophysical measurements are first and second
statistical moments that reflect neural mechanisms underlying the measured sensation: for …

Abstract Firestone & Scholl (F&S) assert that perceptual learning is not a top-down effect,
because experience-mediated changes arise from familiarity with the features of the object …

Working memory and perceptual attention are related functions, engaging many similar
mechanisms and brain regions. As a consequence, behavioral and neural measures often …
