The involvement of early visual cortex during the short-term maintenance of visual information has been demonstrated in human fMRI studies [1,2]. However, evidence for sustained, stimulus-related neuronal firing in primate V1 is limited [3,4]. Recently, fading traces of visual information have been shown in the population code of primate V1 neurons for ~1.5 seconds after visual stimulus presentation in delayed match to sample and attention tasks [5]. The relatively long time-course of these fading memories make it unlikely to be a neural correlate of iconic memory [6], but may be related to “f
