The paper shows that mental transformations link the transformed item to its original representation, with retention depending on attentional selection rather than deep encoding.

This study shows that longer sleep spindle duration during NREM sleep improves post-sleep working memory performance and decoding of latent memory representations.

The paper identifies an accelerated neural code underlying adaptations in visual working memory encoding speed using EEG data analysis.

The paper investigates whether active and passive items in working memory differ in susceptibility to interference, finding no significant difference in their vulnerability.

This study investigates how prioritization affects working memory by comparing conditions with and without advance priority knowledge, finding that prioritization enhances neural representation accessibility during maintenance.

The paper investigates how diffuse predictions affect neural representations during working memory encoding, finding that they stabilize the neural code and alter its geometric layout.

This study investigates the role of alpha oscillations in working memory, finding that sustained alpha activity reflects attentional prioritization rather than general memory maintenance.

The paper investigates perceptual acceleration during visual temporal integration by analyzing EEG data from a missing element task, finding nonlinear acceleration patterns over time.

The paper tests how matching irrelevant spatial frequencies between memory items and perturbations affects neural and behavioral working memory readout, finding enhanced specificity in neural responses.

The paper investigates how working memory maintains both transformed and original representations of stimuli, finding that original representations persist alongside transformed ones even when no longer task-relevant.

This study uses impulse perturbation to investigate how non-spatial color memoranda are maintained in working memory, finding that both cued and uncued colors can be decoded from neural activity, with differences in alpha band oscillations.

This study examines the acute effects of cocoa flavanols on cognitive control and response inhibition in healthy young adults, finding no significant improvements with either dosage.

This study shows that young adults can adapt their encoding speed in working memory based on expected time constraints, but cannot use explicit cues to do so.

The paper shows that learned associations enable cross-modal access to working memory, as auditory impulses can decode visual working memory through learned links.

This study tests the effects of GABA on working memory and attention in healthy adults, finding increased visual search time but no impact on temporal attention or memory.

This study compares seven visual working memory models to evaluate their ability to explain target consolidation during the attentional blink, finding that slot-family models perform best at short lags while variable-precision models improve at longer lags and with color targets.

The paper investigates perceptual awareness during the attentional blink and finds it can be both gradual and discrete, depending on attentional focus.

The paper presents a spiking-neuron model of human working memory using calcium-mediated synaptic plasticity, showing it can perform tasks as accurately as humans.

The paper investigates how working memory maintains stable mental states through dynamic neural activity, finding that while the coding scheme is stable, memories drift over time.

The paper investigates whether impulse responses during working memory maintenance are sensory-specific or multimodal, finding evidence for both unimodal and bimodal neural responses in visual and auditory working memory.
