The paper shows that pre-stimulus pupil dilation, reflecting arousal, increases initial stimulus availability in iconic memory but accelerates its decay, without affecting memory transfer or confidence.

The paper investigates how spatial attention and pre-stimulus alpha oscillations influence iconic memory, finding that both contribute to suppression of irrelevant visual input through separate mechanisms.

This study investigates how spatial attention affects iconic memory, finding that attentional costs at unattended locations dominate over benefits at attended locations.

This study shows that pre-stimulus alpha power in the visual cortex enhances visual memory performance by increasing initial stimulus availability without affecting memory decay.
