There was evidence for a sustained neural trace of the earlier stimulus in the Remember condition, but it faded until it was statistically absent in the Offload and Forget conditions, which did not differ from each other.

Participants viewed pictures of faces or scenes, then they got a cue to Remember (for a memory test), Forget (there will be no test), or Offload (the memory test will come with a reminder). Brain activity to Offload cues closely resembled Forget cues.
