Orienting Attention to Locations in Internal Representations (2003, background): “Our results also complement findings of a strong relationship between perceptual functions and mental imagery (cf. Kosslyn et al., 2001; Ishai et al., 2000).”
Changes in hippocampal connectivity in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from resting state fMRI (2006, background): “It is noteworthy that the visual cortices are activated not only by visual stimuli but by visual mental imagery (Kosslyn et al., 2001).”
Imagined Intergroup Contact: A New Technique for Encouraging Greater Inter-Ethnic Contact in Cyprus (2010, background): “It elicits emotional and motivational responses similar to the real experience (Dadds, Bovbjerg, Redd, & Cutmore, 1997 ), and neuropsychological studies have shown that it utilizes similar neurological mechanisms as memory, emotion, and motor control (Farah, 1989 ; Kosslyn, Ganis, & Thompson, 200”
Using imagination to understand the neural basis of episodic memory (2007, background): “…control conditions involving the vivid visualization of acontextual objects which allowed us to distinguish between the processes of “simple” imagery (Kosslyn et al., 2001) (e.g., of objects), and that of complex scene construction and visualization, and attribute the latter to a distributed…”
Motor Imagery in Mental Rotation: An fMRI Study (2002, methodology): “Whereas perception occurs when information is registered directly from the senses, mental imagery occurs when perceptual information is assessed from memory (Kosslyn et al., 2001a).”
How Brain Reveals Mind Neural Studies Support the Fundamental Role of Conscious Experience (2003, neutral): “Clever composers continuously play with our expectations.”
A meta-analytic review of multisensory imagery identifies the neural correlates of modality-specific and modality-general imagery (2012, background): “In an early review of the imagery literature, Kosslyn et al. (2001) concluded from the auditory and motor imagery that dominated literature at the time, that “most of the neural processes that underlie like-modality perception are also used in imagery,” (p. 641).”
Neural correlates of consciousness in humans (2002, background): “These single-cell findings complement neuroimaging studies that show activation of common brain areas during both visual processing and recall during imagery of specific types of stimulu”
Object-Spatial Imagery: A New Self-Report Imagery Questionnaire (2006, positive): “These results suggest that the two scales of the OSIQ assess the two distinct types of mental imagery, and this dissociation is consistent with previous cognitive and neuroscience research that has provided evidence for different object and spatial imagery subsystems (Levine et al., 1985; Farah et a”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, methodology): “This is analogous to Kosslyn's earlier finding that visual perception and visual imagery both rely on the same visual code in visual cortex (for review, see Kosslyn et al. 2001).”
Global workspace theory of consciousness: toward a cognitive neuroscience of human experience. (2005, background): “Likewise, mental imagery is known to involve visual cortex (Kosslyn et al., 2001).”
