Jan 1, 2022 · A variety of everyday situations calls for us to plan ahead; one of the clever ways our mind prepares and strategizes our next move is through mental simulation. A powerful tool in running these simulations is visual mental imagery, which can be conceived as a way to activate and maintain an internal representation of the to-be-imagined object ...

Aug 5, 2019 · Mental imagery involves activity across a large neural network spanning frontal areas right back to primary sensory areas. The neuroscience of imagery can be divided into work looking at the ...

The biological foundation of mental imagery is not fully understood. Studies using fMRI have shown that the lateral geniculate nucleus and the V1 area of the visual cortex are activated during mental imagery tasks. [25] Ratey writes: The visual pathway is not a one-way street.
Oct 1, 2015 · Note that not all mental imagery need be voluntary; external events or internal associations also can trigger a mental image, even if one does not want to experience the image at that time [1]. Mental imagery can clearly involve all of the senses, but in this review we focus on visual mental imagery, given that most empirical work has addressed this sensory domain.

Oct 29, 2019 · Mental imagery is a promising tool and mechanism of psychological interventions, particularly for mood and anxiety disorders. In parallel developments, neuromodulation techniques have shown promise as add-on therapies in psychiatry, particularly non-invasive brain stimulation for depression. However, these techniques have not yet been combined ...
This offers confirmation that imagery and perceptual processes use the same cognitive resources. Different evidence has showed that visual mental imagery can activate areas in the early visual cortex [4,134,135,136]. Zvyagintsev et al., identified three distinct brain networks during mental imagery tasks: a supramodal network, independent of ...

My starting point is the definition used in a review article on mental imagery in the leading journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences: “We use the term ‘mental imagery’ to refer to representations […] of sensory information without a direct external stimulus” (Pearson et al. 2015, p. 590). 1 This definition aims to capture how the concept of mental imagery is used in a number of ...
