Looking Inward: the Mind's Eye Focuses on Mental Representations
by other cognitive factors such as momentary attention. Nobre et al. (2008), building on their and others’ earlier work, have conducted a very interesting study that does just this; they have investigated, using behavioral and physiological measures, the effects of attention on representations held in one form of mental store – visual short term memory (VSTM). VSTM is a short-term (a few second...
متن کاملThe mind's eye, looking inward? In search of executive control in internal attention shifting.
In studies of mental counting, participants are faster to increment a count that was just incremented (no-switch trial) than to increment a different count (switch trial). Investigators have attributed the effect to a shift in the internal focus of attention on switch trials. Here we report evidence for other bottom-up and top-down contributions. Two stimuli were mapped to each of two counts. T...
متن کاملEditorial: Turning the Mind's Eye Inward: The Interplay Between Selective Attention and Working Memory
Working memory refers to an intriguing and essential problem in cognitive science: How does the brain succeed in maintaining information for certain duration and perform mental operations on the stored information? An important avenue in tackling this issue stems from the relatively well-defined domain of selective attention. The role of selective attention in working memory has become increasi...
متن کاملLiquid Crystals--Transformer That Meets the Eye.
Liquid crystal describes a material that shares properties of both a liquid and a solid crystal. This duality of consistency occurs because the material contains charged molecules whose dynamic “electrical bonds” produce changes in structure (liquid-like or crystal-like) dependent on the background electrical field and the contained thermal energy (temperature). Perhaps the best known example o...
متن کاملStructural basis of drugs that increase cardiac inward rectifier Kir2.1 currents.
AIMS We hypothesize that some drugs, besides flecainide, increase the inward rectifier current (IK1) generated by Kir2.1 homotetramers (IKir2.1) and thus, exhibit pro- and/or antiarrhythmic effects particularly at the ventricular level. To test this hypothesis, we analysed the effects of propafenone, atenolol, dronedarone, and timolol on Kir2.x channels. METHODS AND RESULTS Currents were reco...
