Funded Activity Summary

Understanding visual working memory: a cognitive strategy framework. This project will assess the role cognitive strategies play in visual working memory with the aim of unifying theories in the field. Specifically, this work will investigate whether variations in cognitive memory strategies result in the use of different sensory stores and neural regions to hold visual information in mind. This work aspires to use innovative perceptual psychophysics and modelling techniques along with brain imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation to elucidate the exact neural regions responsible for different memory strategies. This work has the potential to solve many of the current debates in the field and lead to a unified theory and model of visual working memory, opening the door to optimise human memory.
