Because the eye’s high-acuity region is so small, where we look serves as a precise, moment-by-moment window into our cognitive goals and intentions.

Belated repost. It has been a great pleasure working with Paul, Tim, and Sebastian on this. Consider it an update to the 2014 paper "Changing concepts of working memory". Some of the changing concepts have now settled.
Out now in NHB (finally!), a review of visual working memory from a computational perspective, with @weijima01 @timothyfbrady and Sebastian Schneegans. nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
