      Sigman, Mariano; Dehaene, Stanislas (2005-02-08)
      Parsing a mental operation into components, characterizing the parallel or serial nature of this flow, and understanding what each process ultimately contributes to response time are fundamental questions in cognitive ...
    • Dynamics of the central bottleneck : dual-task and task uncertainty 

      Sigman, Mariano; Dehaene, Stanislas (2006-06-27)
      Why is the human brain fundamentally limited when attempting to execute two tasks at the same time or in close succession? Two classical paradigms, psychological refractory period (PRP) and task switching, have independently ...

      Graziano, Martín; Sigman, Mariano (2009-03-17)
      Human subjects can report many items of a cluttered field a few hundred milliseconds after stimulus presentation. This memory decays rapidly and after a second only 3 or 4 items can be stored in working memory. Here we ...
    • The brain’s router : a cortical network model of serial processing in the primate brain 

      Zylberberg, Ariel (2010-04-29)
