Overview:
Visual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing  
and their storage and retrieval. Visual memory occurs over a broad  
time range: from the duration of an eye movements to years.

- How does the brain encode, store, and retrieve stored visual  
representations?
- What neural mechanism limits the capacity and resolution of visual  
memory?
- Do the same neural areas participate in short-term and long-term  
visual memory?
- Do particular neural regions, such as the intraparietal sulcus,  
participate only in visual memory, or does it have a more generally  
role in attentionally demanding tasks such as binding and multi-object  
tracking?
- Are different brain areas critically involved in storing different  
visual materials?
