This work by @mattpanichello.bsky.social and @timbuschman.bsky.social on discrete attractor dynamics to counteract noise in working memory (across both humans and monkeys!) immediately comes to mind: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... I've been exploring stimulus-specific effect as of late...
Error-correcting dynamics in visual working memory - Nature Communications
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 pu...

We can, for simplicity, assume the format is identical across tasks and conditions, but that ought to be made explicit. I think it is promising to look at how working memory obeys efficient coding/predictive processing principles, or towards dynamics in WM following learning or otherwise.

Yes! If you click on the page, you can see the datasets are tagged with consistent labels for task, stimulus, data format, data level, and other relevant tags for easier search and potential integration (which is one of the goals).

Big shoutout to @ckoolh.bsky.social, @yonghoonchung.bsky.social, @shichen-j.bsky.social, @marleneroesner.bsky.social and @philippmusfeld.bsky.social for helping curate some of the datasets so far! DM if you would like to help with contributing or maintaining the simple database – it's easy!

OpenWMData has over 30 tagged datasets already, with Klaus Oberauer (forever setting an example for our field) and leading the way with five datasets so far! I wonder if anyone can top that and claim they are truly making their data findable and reusable...

And if this grabbed your attention, you are likely interested in Robert Logie's recent addition: Working Memory, Prospective Memory, and Self-Reported Everyday Memory and Lifestyle: Data from a Large Scale Internet Study with 408,938 Participants williamngiam.github.io/OpenWMData/l...
Logie et al. (2020) · OpenWMData
We describe a set of multiple measures of working memory and self-report data on memory, together with lifestyle factors, collected over the internet from 408,938 participants, aged from 8 years to 90
