Overview

Electroencephalography study reveals immediate reselection of visual and motor representations after distraction in human adults, indicating proactive reinstatement of working memory.

Key Points

To determine which internal representations are reselected after an interrupting perceptual task and to identify the temporal dynamics of this neural reinstatement.
Participants performed a visual-motor working memory task featuring retro-cues presented during retention intervals followed by an interrupting perceptual discrimination task.
Electroencephalography tracked visual spatial representations and motor response plans via contra- versus ipsilateral modulations of posterior alpha (8–12 Hz) and central beta (13–30 Hz) activity.
Visual and motor representations were reactivated concurrently and immediately upon completion of the interrupting perceptual discrimination task.
Neural reinstatement occurred proactively rather than just-in-time when internal information was required to guide motor output.
