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...

Memory and perception both require selecting behaviorally relevant information. Here, the authors show that more distinct hippocampal memories are linked to precise anticipatory signals in visual cort...

I investigate how our eyes and minds work together to navigate the visual demands of everyday life. Trained in cognitive psychology, I use…

Abstract. Event segmentation is the cognitive process of dividing continuous experiences into meaningful units. Although working memory (WM) is believed to play an instrumental role in event segmentat...

Are you interested in understanding how attention shapes what we see? Would you like to combine behavioural experiments, psychophysics, and eye tracking to uncover how the brain selects and prioritise...

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...

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

Editors invite manuscripts that highlight recent developments in the mechanisms, functions and experience of visual mental imagery. Topics include, but are ...

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...

Abstract. Visual imagery and external perception rely on similar representations. However, whether the same processes underpin the subjective appraisal of

Internal and external selection processes can codevelop in time to yield efficient search behavior.

Nobre and Gresch call for an upgrade of attention research by considering how the brain shifts its focus between contents in the external sensory stream and internal memory representations. They highl...

Focusing on relevant contents to guide adaptive behavior is a core property of the brain. For decades, scientists have investigated mechanisms to anti…

Nobre and Gresch call for an upgrade of attention research by considering how the brain shifts its focus between contents in the external sensory stream and internal memory representations. They highlight competing hypotheses, review the few experimental attempts and findings, propose candidate neural mechanisms, and identify major open questions.

Attention flexibly modulates sensory contents in working memory, but the dynamics of motor content modulation in working memory remain unclear. This study shows that brain representations of both sens...
