Working memory (WM) capacity predicts performance in a wide range of cognitive tasks.
Although WM capacity has been viewed as a constant trait, recent studies suggest that it can …

Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive
fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual …

The human visual system contains an array of topographically organized regions. Identifying
these regions in individual subjects is a powerful approach to group-level statistical analysis …

The hippocampus replays experiences during quiet rest periods, and this replay benefits
subsequent memory. A critical open question is how memories are prioritized for this replay …

The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

Highlights•Frontoparietal network controls selection of spatial and non-spatial information.•
Frontoparietal network contains 18 distinct topographic representations.•Research is …

Retinotopic mapping of functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) responses evoked by visual
stimuli has resulted in the identification of many areas in human visual cortex and a …

The biased competition theory of selective attention has been an influential neural theory of
attention, motivating numerous animal and human studies of visual attention and visual …

Attention is the process that selects which sensory information is preferentially processed
and ultimately reaches our awareness. Attention, however, is not a unitary process; it can be …

Computational theories propose that attention modulates the topographical landscape of
spatial'priority'maps in regions of the visual cortex so that the location of an important object …
