We show that valid spatial cues directing internal attention during long-term memory retrieval boost recall, while invalid cues incur costs. Our work offers a flexible experimental framework to study ...

The Memory and Attention Laboratory at the University of South Dakota is part of the Human Factors & Applied Cognition  program in the Department of Psychology . We study memory, attention, and...

Chericoni et al. show that neurons in the human hippocampus track the positions of multiple agents in a simple pursuit-based video game. They identified place codes for each agent and for gaze. The co...

Searching for objects of interest is an essential and pervasive activity in adaptive cognition. In everyday situations, we often search for relevant content in our surroundings and in mind at the same...

Response inhibition is a key control function that allows humans to perform safe, goal-directed behaviors. The dominant behavioral-computational model holds that response inhibition fails when the inh...

Eye blinks are among the largest physiological artefacts in electroencephalography and are typically removed from the recordings. Yet their timing may carry information about cognition. Here, we asked...

Abstract. The goal-dependent use of temporal expectations enhances visual performance, even without concurrent spatial or motor predictions, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. To ide...

In addition to supervised motor learning, the cerebellum also supports nonmotor forms of learning, including reinforcement learning (RL). Recent studies in animal models have identified core RL signal...

Learning transforms prefrontal cortex activity from flexible, high-dimensional representations into compact, task-relevant and abstract codes, enabling efficient generalization of learned rules to new...

Welcome, fellow working memory researchers! It's time to decide who should be this year's research fairy. If you are not yet aware of the story about this award or would like a refresher, please che...

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...

Memory, Attention, & Cognitive Control Lab at Sabancı University - Eren Günseli. We study how memory and attention interact, how humans control what to remember, what to forget, what to attend to, and...

Attentional priority is typically conceived as a static spatial map, despite attention operating in a continuously changing world. We propose a dynami…
