| Research Abstract |
Visual attention and visual working memory(VWM) are essential functions for our adaptive behavior. Their interaction was systematically investigated by focusing on the following functions ; attentional selection, feature integration, and updating of mental representations. We can perform selective maintenance of feature dimensions in VWM, but location plays special functions. Feature conjunctions, not independent features are bound to locations. Functional brain imaging data revealed that selection, integration, and updating are executed by network activity among various brain regions.
