工作记忆中央系统及其神经机制的研究

用新的视听双重记忆的实验方法，定量研究工作记忆中央系统（CE）的容量和效率、CE工作特性和资源特异性、使用高速成像的功能核磁共振设备和先进的实验与数据处理方法研究CE的功能与脑结构之间的关系等重要问题。这将加深对工作记忆的中央系统这一认知科学的关键科学问题的了解，并且可能发展用于老年痴呆症早期诊断的新方法。

fMRI study on Memory of cross-modal-temporal-order suggests that right PFC may play a special and important role in the Episodic buffer - the Core of Working memory. Other fMRI studie on Serial effect of verbal STM, Attention shift in worikng memory, Time-based binding of visual features, and Memory of aged people have generated significant and interesting results as well. Comparation between Go and Chess showed that there was no significant activation of PFC in both Go and Chess, and in contrast with Chess, the right leteralization in parietal lobe was found in Go. These new findings have captured attention of scientists in the relevant field, the web of Nature and Trend in Cognitive Science have printed special news for this comparison study, respectively.
