Uncovering the Role of the Early Visual Cortex in Visual Mental Imagery

Vision
The question of whether the early visual cortex (EVC) is involved in visual mental imagery remains a topic of debate. In this paper, I propose that the inconsistency in findings can be explained by the unique challenges associated with investigating EVC ...

Neural network topologies supporting individual variations in vividness of visual imagery

NeuroImage
Vividness of visual imagery varies considerably across individuals, yet its neural underpinnings remain unclear. As emphasized in recent debates, a key controversy is whether early sensory architecture explains imagery or whether it is explained by ...
