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 …

Only minimal differences between individuals with congenital aphantasia and those with typical imagery on neuropsychological tasks that involve imagery
Aphantasia describes the experience of individuals who self-report a lack of voluntary visual
imagery. It is not yet known whether individuals with aphantasia show deficits in cognitive …

Hemispheric asymmetries in visual mental imagery
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 …

Visual working memory in aphantasia: Retained accuracy and capacity with a different strategy
Visual working memory paradigms involve retaining and manipulating visual information in
mind over a period of seconds. Evidence suggests that visual imagery (sensory recruitment) …

Probing the unimaginable: The impact of aphantasia on distinct domains of visual mental imagery and visual perception
J Liu, P Bartolomeo - Cortex, 2023 - Elsevier
Different individuals experience varying degrees of vividness in their visual mental images.
The distribution of these variations across different imagery domains, such as object shape …

Working memory signals in early visual cortex are present in weak and strong imagers
It has been suggested that visual images are memorized across brief periods of time by
vividly imagining them as if they were still there. In line with this, the contents of both working …

A network linking scene perception and spatial memory systems in posterior cerebral cortex
The neural systems supporting scene-perception and spatial-memory systems of the human
brain are well-described. But how do these neural systems interact? Here, using fine …
