This study shows that individual differences in sensory noise during visual processing predict visual working memory capacity and that high sensory noise in schizophrenia explains its WM deficits.

The paper shows that memorability of visual stimuli depends on both the stimulus features and the cultural context of the observer.

The paper shows that executive control mechanisms can access hidden memories that explicit retrieval fails to recall.

The paper shows that salient objects in visual search tasks trigger early attentional selection and enhance memory encoding, similar to the von Restorff effect but in spatial rather than temporal contexts.

The paper shows that attentional pop-out is computed in the earliest sensory response in V4, with reaction times and accuracy linked to the magnitude of this response.

The paper investigates whether cortical β-bursts are more directly linked to response inhibition than EEG β-bursts, finding they are less frequent and not synchronized with EEG signals.

The paper models EEG from cortical columns in primates using biophysical simulations of laminar activity and shows it accurately predicts ERP components.

The paper identifies the laminar cortical circuitry in visual area V4 that generates attention-associated electric fields measurable via EEG.

This paper examines β-bursts in EEG during saccade countermanding tasks in macaques, finding they are too infrequent to explain stopping behavior and show no response time adaptation.

The paper presents a minimal biophysical model of layer-5 pyramidal cells that replicates key features of Ca2+ spike dynamics and synaptic integration, enabling studies of microcircuitry and field potential generation.

The paper shows that familiar contexts trigger the transfer of information from long-term memory to working memory to guide attention.

This study shows prefrontal cortex suppresses salient distractors before their effect is seen in scalp-recorded ERP signals, linking neural activity to distraction control.
