A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has ...

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

Recent studies have explored the dynamic interplay between ocular behaviour and the retrieval of visual memories. Notably, eye movements observed during mental imagery often reflect the patterns ...
