In a recent review, Xu reevaluates and rejects sensory accounts of […]

Published in: Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 3, 189-190 Abstract “Human visual processing is subject to a dynamic influx of visual information. Visual working memory (VWM) allows for maintaining relevant visual information available for subsequent behavior. According to the dominating view, VWM recruits sensory processing areas to maintain this visual information online (i.e.,
