Top-down selection of visual working memory contents is supported by alpha-band phase-synchronized oscillatory networks (2025, unknown): “…Top-down selection of visual working memory contents is supported by alpha-band phase-synchronized oscillatory networks (MEG) ( Honkanen et al., 2015; S. Palva et al., 2011; van Ede et al., 2017), and intracranial EEG (iEEG) ( Bahramisharif et al., 2018; Johnson et al., 2023; ter Wal et al., 2021).”
Neural signatures of prioritization and facilitation in retrieving repeated items in visual working memory (2025, unknown): “In summary, our study provides crucial empirical evidence of facilitation and prioritization of repeated items over non-repeated items and explains the probable role of different EEG rhythms in facilitated recognition of repeated items over goal-relevant, not-repeated items in VWM.”
Temporal expectation based on the duration variability modulates alpha oscillations during working memory retention (2022, background): “Such dynamic prioritisation was also observed by the probabilistic information about the time the mnemonic content would be probed in the future (Jin et al., 2020; Nobre and van Ede, 2017; van Ede et al., 2017).”
How to refocus attention on working memory representations following interruptions—Evidence from frontal theta and posterior alpha oscillations (2021, background): “…2012; Roux & Uhlhaas, 2014; Thut et al., 2006; Worden et al., 2000) but also when directing the focus of attention on the level of working memory representations (e.g., de Vries et al., 2018; Myers et al., 2015; Poch et al., 2014; Schneider et al., 2016; van Ede et al., 2017; Wolff et al., 2017).”
