In the visual world, attention is guided by perceptual goals activated in visual working memory (VWM). However, planning multiple-task sequences also requires VWM to store representations for future goals. These future goals need to be prevented from interfering with the current perceptual task. Recent findings have implicated neural oscillations as a control mechanism serving the implementation and switching of different states of prioritization of VWM representations. We review recent evidence that posterior alpha-band oscillations underlie the flexible activation and deactivation of VWM representations and that frontal delta-to-theta-band oscillations play a role in the executive control of this process. That is, frontal delta-to-theta appears to orchestrate posterior alpha through long-range oscillatory networks to flexibly set up and change VWM states during multitask sequences.

工作记忆中表征状态的振荡控制

在视觉世界中，注意力由视觉工作记忆 (VWM) 中激活的感知目标引导。然而，规划多任务序列也需要 VWM 来存储未来目标的表示。需要防止这些未来的目标干扰当前的感知任务。最近的研究结果表明，神经振荡是一种控制机制，用于执行和切换 VWM 表示的不同优先级状态。我们回顾了最近的证据，即后部 alpha 波段振荡是 VWM 表示的灵活激活和停用的基础，并且额叶 delta-theta 波段振荡在该过程的执行控制中发挥作用。那是，
