Decoding Concurrent Representations of Pitch and Location in Auditory Working Memory.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Multivariate analyses of hemodynamic signals serve to identify the storage of specific stimulus contents in working memory (WM). Representations of visual stimuli have been demonstrated both in sensory regions and in higher cortical areas. While previous research has typically focused on the WM maintenance of a single content feature, it remains unclear whether two separate features of a single object can be decoded concurrently. Also, much less evidence exists for representations of auditory compared with visual stimulus features. To address these issues, human participants had to memorize both pitch and perceived location of one of two sample sounds. After a delay phase, they were asked to reproduce either pitch or location. At recall, both features showed comparable levels of discriminability. Region of interest (ROI)-based decoding of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data during the delay phase revealed feature-selective activity for both pitch and location of a memorized sound in auditory cortex and superior parietal lobule. The latter region showed higher decoding accuracy for location than pitch. In addition, location could be decoded from angular and supramarginal gyrus and both superior and inferior frontal gyrus. The latter region also showed a trend for decoding of pitch. We found no region exclusively coding pitch memory information. In summary, the present study yielded evidence for concurrent representations of pitch and location of a single object both in sensory cortex and in hierarchically higher regions, pointing toward representation formats that enable feature integration within the same anatomic brain regions.
