Attention and memory are basic cognitive functions of human and non-human primate brains. During the last 10 years, the issue of how these two functions might be related became a highly active research area in cognitive neuroscience. The seminar will attempt to review and discuss current theoretial ideas and experimental evidence on this issue. The seminar language will be English – basic (not advanced) skills in reading, writing, presentating, and discussing are presupposed. Three key review papers (see below, Literaturangabe), supplemented by original research papers, will be read, presented, and discussed. Suggestions for alternative viewpoints and experimental tests are very welcome. Each participant should moderate one seminar session including a presentation (powerpoint, etc.) and a discussion section.
