Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex
Increasing working memory (WM) load incurs behavioral costs, and whether the neural constraints on behavioral costs are localized (i.e., emanating from the intraparietal sulcus) or distributed across ...

I gave a talk in 2009 about feature-based attention and a famous vision scientist asked how top down signals from PFC could possibly target the right sensory neurons. The best I could do was "uh, dunno". sunyoungp.bsky.social has a much more thoughtful answer journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
Near-random connections support top-down feature-based attentional modulations in early sensory cortex
Author summary In everyday life, we focus on what matters—like finding our car keys on a messy desk—by sending signals from higher control brain areas to earlier sensory brain areas. These “top-down” ...

Cool new paper from @luisdr.bsky.social, Feiyi Wang, and Sam Ling on the impact of attention on spatial frequency processing: www.jneurosci.org/content/45/2...
Attention Alters Population Spatial Frequency Tuning
Spatial frequency (SF) selectivity serves as a fundamental building block within the visual system, determining what we can and cannot see. Attention is theorized to augment the visibility of items in...

Come chat with me about visual working memory and sensory recruitment this Tuesday! Work with the fabulous @kirsten-adam.bsky.social and @serences.bsky.social #VSS2025
Tue, 5/20 3:00PM, @jannawennberg.bsky.social will show fMRI evidence that voxel population codes in EVC transform under distraction.

Dynamic categorization rules alter representations in human visual cortex - Nature Communications
This study shows that neural representations of shape stimuli in human visual cortex are adaptively modulated when participants switch between different variants of a categorization task, becoming mor...
