Neural Measures of Human Decision Making Track Evidence Accumulation in Learned Space

The paper shows that neural evidence accumulation tracks decisions based on learned representational transformations, with CPP slopes correlating with drift rates.

Endogenous Exogenous Competition Delays Internal Selection Across Cortical and Oculomotor Systems

This study investigates whether endogenous-exogenous competition leads to retro-capture in working memory, finding instead that competition delays internal selection across cortical and oculomotor systems.

Human gaze behaviors track abstract stimulus categories

This study shows human gaze behavior encodes abstract categorical information, similar to findings in non-human primates, by analyzing eye movements during classification tasks.

Traveling waves link human visual and frontal cortex during working memory-guided behavior

The paper identifies low- and high-frequency traveling waves in human EEG during memory-guided behavior, linking them to behavioral initiation and termination.

Internal selective attention is delayed by competition between endogenous and exogenous factors.

This study shows that competition between endogenous and exogenous factors delays internal selective attention, unlike external attention where exogenous factors can override task-irrelevant stimuli.

The Entorhinal-DG/CA3 Pathway in the Medial Temporal Lobe Retains Visual Working Memory of a Simple Surface Feature

This study investigates whether the entorhinal-DG/CA3 pathway supports visual working memory of a simple surface feature using an orientation WM task and fMRI.

Temporally dissociable mechanisms of spatial, feature, and motor selection during working memory-guided behavior

The paper investigates the timing of spatial, feature, and motor selection during working memory-guided behavior, finding temporally dissociable mechanisms for these processes.

Changes in behavioral priority influence the accessibility but not the quality of working memory content.

The paper investigates how changes in behavioral priority affect the accessibility of working memory content without altering its quality, using EEG decoding in a retrospectively cued task.

Spatial working memory representations in human cortex are robust to a task-irrelevant interrupting stimulus

The paper investigates how spatial working memory representations in human cortex are affected by a task-irrelevant interrupting stimulus, finding no significant impairment in neural representations or behavioral performance.

Categorical Biases in Human Occipitoparietal Cortex

The paper investigates how category learning influences perceptual processing in human occipitoparietal cortex using inverted encoding models and behavioral experiments.

Recovery of Information from Latent Memory Stores Decreases Over Time.

The paper investigates how retrocues affect memory recovery over time using EEG data, finding that the ability to supplement working memory with additional information decreases as time passes.

Retrospective cues mitigate information loss in human cortex during working memory storage

The paper examines how retrospective cues affect spatial working memory representations in humans using EEG, showing cues can eliminate or reverse information loss during memory storage.
