The Distributed Nature of Working Memory
Thomas B. Christophel,P. Christiaan Klink,P. Christiaan Klink,Bernhard Spitzer,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Pieter R. Roelfsema,John-Dylan Haynes +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the propensity to produce persistent activity is a general feature of cortical networks and may have to shift focus from asking where working memory can be observed in the brain to how a range of specialized brain areas together transform sensory information into a delayed behavioral response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the Status Quo: A Role for Beta Oscillations in Endogenous Content (Re)Activation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that beta-mediated ensemble formation within and between cortical areas may awake, rather than merely preserve, an endogenous cognitive set in the service of current task demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Oscillations Dissociate between Semantic and Nonsemantic Encoding of Episodic Memories
TL;DR: A direct comparison of results between the 2 encoding tasks revealed that semantic subsequent memory effects were specifically reflected by power decreases in the beta frequency band and the alpha frequency band, whereas nonsemantic subsequentMemory effects were specific reflected by a power increase in theta frequency band.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oscillatory Correlates of Vibrotactile Frequency Processing in Human Working Memory
TL;DR: The results complement previous findings of parametric working memory correlates in nonhuman primates and suggest that the quantitative representation of vibrotactile frequency in sensory memory entails systematic modulations of synchronized neural activity in human prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for neural encoding of Bayesian surprise in human somatosensation.
Dirk Ostwald,Bernhard Spitzer,Matthias Guggenmos,Thorsten Schmidt,Stefan J. Kiebel,Felix Blankenburg +5 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence for anatomical-temporal/functional segregation in human somatosensory processing that is consistent with the Bayesian brain hypothesis is provided.
