Decoding Memory from Empty Space: Neural Reactivation During Gaze Reinstatement
Research on episodic memory shows that people often direct their gaze toward locations where goal-relevant information was originally encoded, even in the absence of visual input. This “looking-at-nothing” (LAN) behavior has been demonstrated to strengthen maintenance of visuospatial configurations (Olsen et al., 2014; Wynn et al., 2018), enhance the accuracy and fidelity of episodic recall (Johan
