It offers a definitive resolution to the long-standing debate about the nature of the internal representation of visual mental imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKosslyn reviews evidence that perception and representation are inextricably linked, and goes on to show how \"quasi-pictorial\" events in the brain are generated, interpreted, and used in cognition. The theory is tested with brain-scanning techniques that provide stronger evidence than has been possible in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown for his work in high-level vision, one of the most empirically successful areas of experimental psychology, Kosslyn uses a highly interdisciplinary approach. He reviews and integrates an extensive amount of literature in a coherent presentation, and reports a wide range of new findings using a host of techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Bradford Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893095157911,"sku":"9780262611244","price":5956.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262611244.webp?v=1770313815","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/image-and-brain-the-resolution-of-the-imagery-debate-9780262611244","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
