Decoding working memory contents from induced alpha power was largely successful in the short delay (left), but importantly, deprioritized items eventually vanished completely in the long delay (right). Work lead by Yuanyuan Weng and in collaboration with Jelmer Borst. 3/3 #neuroskyence #cogpsyc

Our task included a longer-than-usual delay period of 3 seconds, where working memory maintenance should have stabilized. Voltage decoding dropped to zero even in the short delay (left panel), and re-emerged only just before the probe in the long delay (right panel), presumably in anticipation. 2/3

Felt bad about not posting a reminder about this (my excuse is that I was on vacation), but we received no fewer than 221 applications so far! Very happy to see so much interest, and if you're one of the applicants--it may take us a bit of time to go over all of these... 📄📄🙂
