Modulation of visual cortical excitability by working memory: effect of luminance contrast of mental imagery

Although much is known about the impact of stimulus properties such as luminance contrast, spatial frequency and orientation on visually evoked neural activity, much less is known about how they modulate neural activity when they are properties of a mental image held in working memory (WM). Here we...
