Visual mental imagery is the faculty whereby we can “visualize” objects that are not in our
line of sight. Longstanding evidence dating back over thirty years has shown that unilateral …

An implicit assumption in the literature on functional hemispheric asymmetry is that the right
hemisphere plays a special role in mental imagery. Using a definition of mental imagery as …

Thirty-six patients with unilateral hemispheric lesions of the right hemisphere (RHD), left
hemisphere (LHD), or no neurologic disease were evaluated on two tasks of visual imagery …

This paper presents a review of the empirical evidence bearing on the localization of the
image-generation process in cerebral structures and examines several issues related to the …

In the current study we aimed to empirically test previously proposed accounts of a division
of labour between the left and right posterior parietal cortices during visuospatial mental …

Hemispheric specialization and subcortical processes in visual anention were investigated
in callosotomy (split-brain) patients by measuring reaction times to lateralized stimuli in a …

Previous studies have shown that prolonged inspection of a tilted visual pattern leads to
changes in perception (“tilt after-effect”, TAE), as well as to a reduction of the neural …

We examined the neural mechanisms of functional asymmetry between hemispheres in the
processing of global and local information of hierarchical stimuli by measuring …

The existence of hemispheric lateralization of visual mental imagery remains controversial.
In light of the literature, we used fMRI to test whether processing of mental images of object …

Visual mental imagery, or'seeing with the mind's eye', has been the subject of considerable
controversy in cognitive science. At issue is whether images are fundamentally different from …
