About 11% of the population is left-handed, a significant minority of the potential participant pool for functional MRI (fMRI) studies. However, convention in fMRI research dictates these potential pa...

People with aphantasia are offering a window into consciousness.

Abstract. Visual imagery and external perception rely on similar representations. However, whether the same processes underpin the subjective appraisal of

Predictions of future events have a major impact on how we process sensory signals. However, it remains unclear how the brain keeps predictions online in anticipation of future inputs. Here, we combin...

Implicit measures are widely used because they are assumed to be superior to self-reports. In this Perspective, Corneille and Gawronski challenge this view and argue that claims about disadvantages of...

Extensive work has shown that the visual cortex is reactivated during mental imagery, and that models trained on visual data can predict imagery activity and decode imagined stimuli. These findings ma...

This EEG study used multivariate decoding in humans to investigate how memories are selected when retrieval goals vary. The results showed that EEG neural patterns reinstating studied information tra...

Individual brain activity profiles are shaped by lifelong genetic influences.

We often mistake visual noise for meaningful images, which sometimes appear as convincing as veridical percepts. This suggests considerable overlap between the mechanisms that underlie false and verid...

The brain is much less like a machine than it is like the murmurations of a flock of starlings or an orchestral symphony

Phenomenology of mental imagery can reveal the structure of underlying mental representations, yet progress has been limited because of its private na…

Approximately 4% of the population has aphantasia, which is defined as impoverished, or absent, sensory mental imagery. Previous research suggests that people with aphantasia (aphants) may have a high...

Cabbai et al. test whether sensory representations in primary visual cortex (V1) can be dissociated from subjective mental imagery. They find that V1 representations can occur without subjective exper...

The contemporary definition of mental imagery is characterized by two aspects: a sensory representation that resembles, but does not result from, perc…
