Theories of attention posit that attentional guidance operates on information held in a target
template within memory. The template is often thought to contain veridical target features …

The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

From the conception of Baddeley's visuospatial sketchpad, visual working memory and
visual attention have been closely linked concepts. An attractive model has advocated unity …

Pupillary dynamics reflect effects of distinct and important operations of visual working
memory: encoding, maintenance, and prioritization. Here, we review how pupil size predicts …

Persistently active neurons during mnemonic periods have been regarded as the
mechanism underlying working memory maintenance. Alternatively, neuronal networks …

Memory representations can be stored in a passive state in a visual working memory (VWM)
task. However, it remains unclear whether the representations stored in the passive state are …

Perceptual distraction distorts visual working memory representations. Previous research
has shown that memory responses are systematically biased towards passively viewed …

Perceptual distraction distorts visual working memory representations. Previous research
has shown that memory responses are systematically biased toward visual distractors that …

Extensive research has examined how information is maintained in working memory (WM),
but it remains unknown how WM is used to guide behavior. We addressed this question by …

How does the brain prioritize among the contents of working memory (WM) to appropriately
guide behavior? Previous work, employing inverted encoding modeling (IEM) of …
