Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation
or transcranial direct and alternating current stimulation, are advocated as measures to …

People with aphantasia have impoverished visual imagery so struggle to form mental
pictures in the mind's eye. By testing people with and without aphantasia, we investigate the …

The mainstays of brain imaging techniques have been positron emission tomography (PET),

We systematically reviewed the literature to evaluate the prevalence of phosphenes and the
phosphene threshold (PT) values obtained during single-pulse transcranial magnetic …

Four experiments were completed to characterize the utilization of visual imagery and motor
imagery during the mental representation of human action. In Experiment 1, movement time …

A touch on one hand can enhance the response to a visual stimulus delivered at a nearby
location [1, 2], improving our interactions with the external world. In order to keep such visual …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) induces phosphenes and disrupts visual
perception when applied over the occipital pole. Both the underlying mechanisms and the …

The formation and manipulation of mental images represents a key ability for successfully
solving visuospatial tasks like Wechsler's Block Design or visual reasoning problems, tasks …

Mental imagery provides an essential simulation tool for remembering the past and planning
the future, with its strength affecting both cognition and mental health. Research suggests …
