Abstract

Humans and non-human animals adaptively boost their encoding speed when they expect limited sensory exposure time, so that they can capture essential information before it is gone. However, it is unclear how the brain implements this crucial adaptation. Using multivariate pattern analysis of human EEG data, we found that an accelerated neural code underlies adaptations in visual working memory encoding speed.
