Working memory utilizes precise timing information for neural storage
Current computational and empirical evidence indicates that working memory utilizes precise timing information, such as phase codes and neural oscillations, to maintain and structure neural representations.
The claim posits that working memory utilizes precise timing information for neural storage. Papers [0] and [3] directly support this by demonstrating phase coding, neural oscillations acting as a temporal frame of reference, and rhythmic temporal coordination in working memory tasks. Other papers discuss related concepts such as temporal dynamics, but the supporting papers specifically validate the use of precise timing (phase and oscillation dynamics) for neural storage.

Shows that rhythmic temporal coordination and frequency-specific phase dynamics help organize working memory representations and avoid conflicts.
