Error-correcting dynamics in visual working memory

Error-correcting dynamics in visual working memory

Neural representations in working memory are susceptible to internal noise, which scales with memory load. Here, the authors show that attractor dynamics mitigate the influence of internal noise by pulling memories towards a few stable representations.
