Let's face it: It's a cortical network (2008, background): “…people is maintained (Gobbini and Haxby, 2007); the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), where semantic aspects are processed (Leveroni et al., 2000; Ishai et al., 2000b, 2002); and regions of the reward circuitry, including the nucleus accumbens and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), where facial beauty…”
A voxel-wise encoding model for early visual areas decodes mental images of remembered scenes (2014, neutral): “…o m / l o c a t e / y n i m g activity (Le Bihan et al., 1993; Sabbah et al., 1995; Goebel et al., 1998; Chen et al., 1998; Klein et al., 2000; O'Craven and Kanwisher, 2000; Ishai et al., 2002; Lambert et al., 2002; Ganis et al., 2004; Handy et al., 2004; Amedi et al., 2005; Cui et al., 2007).”
Mental imagery of speech: linking motor and perceptual systems through internal simulation and estimation (2012, methodology): “This attention-guided memory retrieval process has been demonstrated, for example, in the visual imagery of faces (Ishai et al., 2002).”
Differential selectivity for dynamic versus static information in face-selective cortical regions (2011, neutral): “The right IFG and motor cortex also showed a significantly greater response to dynamic faces than to static faces.”
Mental Imagery: Functional Mechanisms and Clinical Applications (2015, neutral): “Many studies reported no significant activity above baseline in the early visual cortex during mental imagery [38–45], but a slightly larger number of studies reported significant activity [46–57].”
Reading the mind's eye: decoding category information during mental imagery (2009, background): “Indeed, V1 activation during imagery may only be called for when participants have to access high-resolution information during visual imagery (Kosslyn and Thompson, 2003) or retrieve information from short-termmemory (Ishai et al., 2002).”
Brain areas underlying visual mental imagery and visual perception: an fMRI study. (2004, methodology): “[28]), we kept the map thresholds identical for the imagery and perception conditions.”
When thoughts become action: An fMRI paradigm to study volitional brain activity in non-communicative brain injured patients (2007, background): “…deviation. et al., 1999; Jenkins et al., 2000; Naito et al., 2002; Kuhtz- Buschbeck et al., 2003), faces perception/imagination (O'Craven and Kanwisher, 2000a; Ishai et al., 2002; Rossion et al., 2003), auditory imagery/speech-related (Halpern, 2001; Price et al., 2005), neuroimaging studies).”
Neural Mechanisms of Bidirectional Visuo‐Linguistic Transformation in Interactive Communication (2026, unknown): “…exerted excitatory influences on lFFA, providing the primary evidence for a top-down generative mechanism in which higher-order frontal and parietal regions drive face-selective activity during internally driven visualization (Dentico et al. 2014; O'Craven and Kanwisher 2000; Ishai et al. 2002).”
