Does your brain use the images in it, and if so, how?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (2):189-190 (2002)
Abstract
The presence of spatial patterns of activity in the brain is suggestive of image-exploiting processes in vision and mental imagery, but not conclusive. Only behavioral evidence can confirm or disconfirm hypotheses about whether, and how, the brain uses images in its information-processing, and the arguments based on such evidence are still inconclusiveAuthor's Profile
