The contribution of early sensory cortex to working memory

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
