Our capacity to re-experience the past and simulate the future is thought to depend heavily
on visual imagery, which allows us to construct complex sensory representations in the …

Cognitive and neuroimaging evidence suggests that episodic and semantic memory—
memory for autobiographical events and conceptual knowledge, respectively—support …

A range of psychiatric disorders are characterised by impairments in episodic future thinking
(EFT), and particularly simulating specific, spatiotemporally-located future events. No study …

Episodic future thinking for positive future events is known to evoke positive affect. We aimed
to assess whether it specifically evokes anticipated and anticipatory pleasure for future …

Research has suggested that an episodic specificity induction (ESI)–training in recollecting
details of a past event–impacts subsequent memory, imagination, problem solving, and …

Affective empathy, feeling what others feel, is a powerful emotion that binds us to one
another. Here we ask whether how we mentally represent the scene in which another suffers …

A growing body of research suggests that an episodic specificity induction (ESI), that is,
training in recalled details of a (recent) past event, impacts performance on subsequent …

Human adults possess the extraordinary ability to produce mental imagery about a wide
variety of non-occurrent events. We can, for example, simulate the perception of different …

Existing sketch-analysis work studies sketches depicting static objects or scenes. In this
work, we propose a novel cross-modal retrieval problem of fine-grained instance-level …

The neural substrates that contribute to creative thinking through the recruitment of semantic
memory structures remain largely unknown. This study sought to investigate the properties …
