Nature guided imagery: An intervention to increase connectedness to nature
2022, Journal of Environmental PsychologyCitation Excerpt :A host of prior research has investigated the effects of GI on the brain. Kosslyn et al. (1997) found there to be 14 common areas of the brain activated for both visual perception and prompted visual imagery. Indeed, Ganis et al. (2004) showed, via fMRI, that there is extensive overlap in neural structures engaged during both visual perception and imagery; that is, between real and imagined experiences.
Visual mental imagery: Inside the mind's eyes
2022, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The central claim of this model postulates a substantial overlap between neural substrates supporting visual mental imagery and visual perception, including early visual areas. For instance, numerous early studies using positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) observed an increase in activation during mental imagery in the primary (V1 or Brodmann Area 17) and secondary (V2 or Brodmann area 18) visual cortices (e.g., Kosslyn et al., 1993; Klein et al., 2000; Mellet et al., 2000b), paralleling the neural activation associated with visual perception (Kosslyn et al., 1997; Ganis et al., 2004). Further support for the equivalence between neural substrates of imagery and perception came from studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a neuroimaging method that allows to excite or inhibit a targeted brain region (see for example Ruff et al., 2009 for a review on TMS).
