Contents:
1. Resolving the imagery debates -- 2. Carving a system at its joints -- 3. High-level vision -- 4. Identifying objects in different locations -- 5. Identifying objects when different portions are visible -- 6. Identifying objects in degraded images -- 7. Identifying contorted objects -- 8. Identifying objects : normal and damaged brains -- 9. Generating and maintaining visual images -- 10. Inspecting and transforming visual images -- 11. Visual mental images in the brain.
Summary: 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.
