Our interests in human memory and cognition encompass the cognitive and neural basis of working memory, attention, control, and consciousness.News  Madison Symposium on Memory & Control. On 30 May 202...

Flexible prioritization in working memory (WM) is supported by neural oscillations in frontal and sensory brain areas, but the roles of different oscillations remain poorly understood. Recordings in h...

Testing items in working memory improves long-term memory, especially for deprioritized items. This benefit shows when WM retrieval requires continuous recall, suggesting self-generated reports streng...

A core function of visual working memory (WM) is to sustain mental representations of recent visual inputs, thereby bridging moments of experience. Th…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

The temporal order of events in working memory is thought to be reflected by ordered neuronal firing at different phases. Here the authors show that this is not the case and that phase order is linked...

Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to the 50th Annual Conference on “Psychology and the Brain (PuG2025),” held from June 18–21, 2025, at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg!

Two decades of research on visual working memory have yielded substantial yet fragmented knowledge. Here, using a large-scale experiment with 40 million responses, the author provides evidence these f...

By recording large populations of neurons in behaving monkeys using newly developed silicon probes, we show that intermittent periods of memorandum-specific spiking coexist with synaptic mechanis...

Which factors determine whether information temporarily held in working memory (WM) is transferred to long-term memory (LTM)? Previous work has shown that retrieving (“testing”) memories from LTM can ...
