This project examines how initial sensory areas of cerebral cortex contribute to working memory. We expect to find that the memory of a stimulus involves multiple representations held for different durations by different cortical areas. We will examine how these memorial representations are related to the known neuronal representations that are supported by each sensory cortical area. These findings will advance our understanding of how perceptual memories are organised and represented in the brain. They will also challenge the traditional view that segregates memory from perception by showing that certain memories are inseparable from the sensory structures mediating their content.

这个项目研究了大脑皮层的初始感觉区域如何对工作记忆做出贡献。我们期望发现，刺激的记忆涉及不同皮层区域在不同时间内保持的多种表征。我们将研究这些记忆表征是如何与每个感觉皮层区域支持的已知神经元表征相关的。这些发现将促进我们对感知记忆在大脑中是如何组织和表现的理解。他们还将挑战传统的观点，即通过显示某些记忆与介导其内容的感觉结构是不可分割的，将记忆与感知分离。
