The study of human cognition through neuroscience has benefitted from a constant development and transformation of associated technology and analysis. Taking working memory (WM) as an example, and also as the area in which Mark Stokes has demonstrated this, it is a field that has often found itself right at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience, with a fascinating progression of theoretical insight and development as a consequence (see D'Esposito and Postle [2014] and Postle [2006] for thorough reviews of the field). Often, this innovation and discovery has produced theoretical upheaval, such as understanding the relationship/dependence/separation between attention and WM (Nobre & Stokes, 2011), challenging the limited capacity of WM (Bays & Husain, 2008), and the role of pFC in WM (Stokes, 2015) to name a few. (At this stage, the reader may have noted the involvement of Mark Stokes in several of these...
