A flexible readout mechanism of human sensory representations

A flexible readout mechanism of human sensory representations

It is known that attention can modify the brain's representations of sensory stimuli to enhance features of importance. Here, the authors show that flexible readout of cortical representations is also required to explain the behavioral effects of attention.
