What does contralateral delay activity mean?: A guide to cognitive neuroscience

3 min read
Visual working memory, the brain's limited workspace for temporarily holding visual information, is a foundational aspect of cognition. **Contralateral delay activity** (CDA) is a key electrophysiological marker used in neuroscience to measure the neural processes involved in this capacity. It provides a direct and reliable way to study how the brain actively stores information over short delays.
