Tracking Real-Time Changes in Working Memory Updating and Gating with the Event-Based Eye-Blink Rate

Abstract Effective working memory (WM) functioning depends on the gating process that regulates the balance between maintenance and updating of WM. The present study used the event-based eye-blink rate (ebEBR), which presumably reflects phasic striatal dopamine activity, to examine how the cognitive...
