Synopsis

Kosslyn (psychology, Harvard U.) presents a 20-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery offering his research as a definitive resolution of the long-standing "imagery debate," which centers on the nature of the internal representation of visual mental imagery. He combines insights and empirical results from computer vision, neurobiology, and cognitive science to develop a general theory of visual mental imagery, its relation to visual perception, and its implementation in the human brain.
