Visual working memory (VWM) is the ability to keep visual information in mind for a few seconds. ... In the study, they introduced a new paradigm called the 'model-reconstruction' task.

When you try to solve a math problem in your head or remember the things on your grocery list, you’re engaging in a complex neural balancing act — a process that, according to a new study by Brown ...

This means that the pattern of neural activity that stores a given visual memory is the same as when it was first seen and encoded—whether it is a second later or 10 seconds later.

A computational model and behavioral study developed by Yale scientists gives a new clue to the age-old question of how our brain prioritizes what to remember. ... the researchers developed a ...

To find out, the researchers created a model of the visual cortex that had different levels of neurons with receptive fields of increasing size. They then simulated an evoked memory by sending a ...

Visual object memory refers to our brain's ability to store, recognize, and recall visual information about objects we ...

Researchers identified neurons that connect the primary visual cortex of each hemisphere and showed that when the cells are disrupted in mice, either by genetic alterations that model Alzheimer ...
