Discussion

fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis reveal attentional templates encode target-associated information.

Target-associated information from visual memory is actively represented in the brain during search tasks.
Decoding of face information occurred in several brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex and fusiform face area.
The study provides novel insights into how associated information can influence attention during visual tasks.
Preparatory activation of scene information was significantly noted in distinct areas, highlighting its importance in guiding attention.

Zhou et al. (2025) studied this question.
