Propositions
1. Electroencephalography is sensitive enough to decode non-categorical, non-spatial information during perception and maintenance in working memory (Chapters 2-6).
2. The neural impulse response to external stimulation reflects both prioritized and unprioritized contents of working memory (Chapters 3-6).
3. The degrading quality of neural representations in WM is mediated by a drifting WM code (Chapter 6).
4. The neural codes during perception and maintenance of both visual orientations and auditory pitches are parametric (Chapters 4-6).
5. The neural coding scheme of orientation maintenance in WM is stable over time when no transformation is necessary (Chapter 6).
6. Alpha oscillations track the selection and prioritization of spatially linked information in WM (Chapter 4).
7. Using neuroimaging tools that depend on neural activity to research the neural correlates of cognition assumes that cognitive processes elicit neural activity, which may not always be the case, necessitating alternative methods.
