Using Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging, we show that a salient distractor initially competes with target processing but is later actively suppressed, revealing the timeline of how bottom-up saliency and top-down control shape early visual responses.

Past experience and our current goals guide what information to focus on. But how and when does the brain represent the past and the present? This new study shows that the brain represents the past an...

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

Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) enables neural frequency tagging at rates above the flicker fusion threshold, eliciting steady-state responses to flicker that is almost imperceptible. While R...

Finding an object typically involves the use of working memory to prioritize relevant visual information at the right time. For example, successfully detecting a highway exit sign is useless when your...

Paluch et al. show that unattended working memory items, as well as attended ones, are encoded in persistent activity in the medial temporal lobe.

Navigating the environment involves engaging with multiple objects, each activating specific neuronal populations. When objects appear together, these populations compete. Classical attention theories...

Adaptive behavior necessitates the prioritization of the most relevant information in the environment (external) and in memory (internal). Internal prioritization is known to guide the selection of ex...

Communications Biology - Magnetoencephalography in human participants paired with Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging reveals that excitability in early visual cortex is modulated to boost targets...

Items held in visual working memory (VWM) influence early visual processing by enhancing memory-matching visual input. Depending on current task deman…
