Flexible working memory representation of the relationship between an object and its location as revealed by interactions with attention

TL;DR: The present experiments examine the flexibility of object and location WM representations by measuring reaction times on a visual discrimination task during the delay period of a WM recognition task for object identities, locations, or both and suggest that when this relationship is necessary for task performance, WM represents an object and its identity in an integrated manner, however, ifThis relationship is not task relevant, the object and locations information are represented in WM separately.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal differences between color pathways within the retina as a possible origin of subjective colors.

TL;DR: This work quantifies the model by inferring impulse response functions from physiological data, and predicts the output of the different color pathways to temporally modulated achromatic signals which produce the sensation of color.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking the will to attend: Cortical activity indexes self-generated, voluntary shifts of attention

TL;DR: The findings, which extend recent evidence on freely chosen motor movements, suggest that dorsal anterior cingulate and lateral prefrontal cortices play key roles in both overt and covert acts of volition, and may constitute core components of a brain network underlying the will to attend.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maintenance of Relational Information in Working Memory Leads to Suppression of the Sensory Cortex

TL;DR: It is suggested that abstract relational information is maintained in WM differently from concrete, sensory representations and that during maintenance of abstract information, posterior sensory regions become task irrelevant and are thus suppressed.
