Dynamic and flexible transformation and reallocation of visual working memory representations

In their recent review, Xu critically assesses the role of early visual areas in VWM storage light new fMRI-decoding studies that seemingly support sensory account. We would like to extend discussion by highlighting findings which suggest can dynamically transform active representations e.g., activity silent or long-term memory representations. These latent codes evade detection via traditional paradigms as well decoding methods and hence limit conclusions be drawn about certain brain regions WM storage. More precisely we claim a lack temporary disappearance multivariate evidence from does not imply these are essentially required store maintain active, currently attended,
