Interactions between visual working memory representations [PDF]

open access: bronzeAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2017
We investigated whether the representations of different objects are maintained independently in working memory or interact with each other. Observers were shown two sequentially presented orientations and required to reproduce each orientation after a delay.

Body image, visual working memory and visual mental imagery [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Body dissatisfaction (BD) is a highly prevalent feature amongst females in society, with the majority of individuals regarding themselves to be overweight compared to their personal ideal, and very few self-describing as underweight.

Mental imagery and visual working memory. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Visual working memory provides an essential link between past and future events. Despite recent efforts, capacity limits, their genesis and the underlying neural structures of visual working memory remain unclear.

Visual working memory directly alters perception

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2019
Visual working memory (VWM), the ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate information, underlies a variety of critical high-level behaviours from directing attention1–4 to making complex decisions5.

Working memory representations in visual cortex mediate distraction effects

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The relative roles of visual, parietal, and frontal cortex in working memory have been actively debated. Here, the authors show that distraction impacts visual working memory representations in primary visual areas, indicating that these regions play a ...

Error-correcting dynamics in visual working memory

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Neural representations in working memory are susceptible to internal noise, which scales with memory load. Here, the authors show that attractor dynamics mitigate the influence of internal noise by pulling memories towards a few stable representations.

Attentional Templates in Visual Working Memory [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Neuroscience, 2011
Most theories of attention propose that we maintain attentional templates in visual working memory to control what information is selected. In the present study, we directly tested this proposal by measuring the contralateral-delay activity (CDA) of human event-related potentials during visual search tasks in which the target is cued on each trial ...

Perturbing human V1 degrades the fidelity of visual working memory [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Decades of macaque research established the importance of prefrontal cortex for working memory. Surprisingly, recent human neuroimaging studies demonstrated that the contents of working memory can be decoded from primary visual cortex (V1).

White matter microstructure is associated with the precision of visual working memory [PDF]

open access: goldNeuroImage, 2023
Visual working memory is critical for goal-directed behavior as it maintains continuity between previous and current visual input. Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that visual working memory relies on communication between distributed brain ...

Semantic knowledge influences visual working memory in adults and children.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
We can retain only a portion of the visual information that we encounter within our visual working memory. Which factors influence how much information we can remember?
