It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Blindness often results in the adaptive neural reorganization of the remaining modalities,
producing sharper auditory and haptic behavioral performance. Yet, non-visual modalities …

This book is about mental imagery and the important work it does in our mental life. It plays a
crucial role in the vast majority of our perceptual episodes. It also helps us understand many …
