Mental imagery: functional mechanisms and clinical applications
Mental imagery research has weathered both disbelief of the phenomenon and inherent
methodological limitations. Here we review recent behavioral, brain imaging, and clinical …

Vividness of visual imagery depends on the neural overlap with perception in visual areas
Research into the neural correlates of individual differences in imagery vividness point to an
important role of the early visual cortex. However, there is also great fluctuation of vividness …

[인용][C] The case for mental imagery
SM Kosslyn - Oxford Psychology Series, 2006 - books.google.com
When we try to remember whether we left a window open or closed, do we actually see the
window in our mind? If we do, does this mental image play a role in how we think? For …

[HTML][HTML] A voxel-wise encoding model for early visual areas decodes mental images of remembered scenes
Recent multi-voxel pattern classification (MVPC) studies have shown that in early visual
cortex patterns of brain activity generated during mental imagery are similar to patterns of …

Mental imagery: In search of a theory
ZW Pylyshyn - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2002 - cambridge.org
It is generally accepted that there is something special about reasoning by using mental
images. The question of how it is special, however, has never been satisfactorily spelled out …

When is early visual cortex activated during visual mental imagery?
SM Kosslyn, WL Thompson - Psychological bulletin, 2003 - psycnet.apa.org
Although many neuroimaging studies of visual mental imagery have revealed activation in
early visual cortex (Areas 17 or 18), many others have not. The authors review this literature …

Visual mental imagery engages the left fusiform gyrus, but not the early visual cortex: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging evidence
The dominant neural model of visual mental imagery (VMI) stipulates that memories from the
medial temporal lobe acquire sensory features in early visual areas. However, neurological …
