Multitasking Practice Eliminates Modality-Based Interference by Separating Task Representations in Sensory Brain Regions

The effect of context and reason on the neural correlates of intentions
Many studies have identified networks in parietal and prefrontal cortex that are involved in intentional action. Yet, our understanding of the way these networks are involved in intentions is still very limited. In this study, we investigate two characteristics of these processes: context- and reason-dependence of the neural states associated with intentions. We ask whether these states depend on the context a person is in and the reasons they have for choosing an action.

Working memory signals in early visual cortex are present in weak and strong imagers
1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, visual imagery, the ability to generate pictorial mental representations in the absence of external visual stimulation (Kosslyn & Thompson, 2003; Pearson & Kosslyn, 2015), has received increasing attention as a potential mechanism for supporting visual working memory (Albers et al., 2013; Tong, 2013).
Working memory signals in early visual cortex do not depend on visual imagery
Abstract It has been suggested that visual images are memorized across brief periods of time by vividly imagining them as if they still were there. In line with this, the contents of both working memory and visual imagery are known to be encoded already in early visual cortex. If these signals in early visual areas were indeed to reflect a combined imagery and memory code, one would predict them to be weaker for individuals with reduced visual imagery vividness.
