PFC activity represents specific perceptual content, even when it is not relevant to current tasks. In a multiunit recording study (Mante et al., 2013), monkeys had to make saccades to indicate either the direction or the color of the majority of moving dots, depending on the fixation cue. Task-irrelevant/unattended information (e.g., color) was decodable from neuronal activity in the frontal eye field, almost as well as task-relevant information (e.g., motion).
