Dissecting the neural focus of attention reveals distinct processes for spatial attention and object-based storage in visual working memory

N Hakim, KCS Adam, E Gunseli, E Awh… - Psychological …, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
Complex cognition relies on both on-line representations in working memory (WM), said to
reside in the focus of attention, and passive off-line representations of related information. …

[PDF][PDF] Inter-electrode correlations measured with EEG predict individual differences in cognitive ability

N Hakim, E Awh, EK Vogel, MD Rosenberg - Current Biology, 2021 - cell.com
Human brains share a broadly similar functional organization with consequential individual
variation. This duality in brain function has primarily been observed when using techniques …

Perturbing neural representations of working memory with task-irrelevant interruption

N Hakim, T Feldmann-Wüstefeld, E Awh… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2020 - direct.mit.edu
Working memory maintains information so that it can be used in complex cognitive tasks. A
key challenge for this system is to maintain relevant information in the face of task-irrelevant …

Controlling the flow of distracting information in working memory

N Hakim, T Feldmann-Wüstefeld, E Awh… - Cerebral …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Visual working memory (WM) must maintain relevant information, despite the constant influx
of both relevant and irrelevant information. Attentional control mechanisms help determine …

[HTML][HTML] Attention fluctuations impact ongoing maintenance of information in working memory

N Hakim, MT deBettencourt, E Awh… - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2020 - Springer
Working memory maintains information in a readily accessible state and has been shown to
degrade as the length of the retention interval increases. Previous research has suggested …

Do easterners and westerners differ in visual cognition? A preregistered examination of three visual cognition tasks

N Hakim, DJ Simons, H Zhao… - Social Psychological and …, 2017 - journals.sagepub.com
When performing cognitive tasks, Easterners often process information more holistically and
contextually than Westerners. This is often taken as evidence for fundamental differences in …

[HTML][HTML] Phase-coding memories in mind

N Hakim, EK Vogel - PLoS biology, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Temporarily holding information in mind is an important part of many cognitive processes,
such as reasoning and language. The amount of information that can be actively held “in mind…

Manifold visual working memory

N Hakim, E Awh, EK Vogel, RH Logie… - … memory: State of the …, 2021 - books.google.com
We endorse the embedded-processes model, which puts working memory (WM) in the
context of other types of memory. However, we define WM as the processes that maintain a …

Characterizing Working Memory Delay Period Activity

N Hakim - 2021 - search.proquest.com
Temporarily holding information in mind is an important part of many cognitive processes.
For example, when listening to a story, you have to maintain multiple pieces of information in …

Predicting cognitive abilities across individuals using sparse EEG connectivity

N Hakim, E Awh, EK Vogel, MD Rosenberg - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
