Feeling with the mindʼs eye
Abstract
Mental imagery is thought to play a key role in certain aspects of visual perception and to depend on neural activity in visual cortex. We asked whether tactile discrimination of grating orientation, which appears to involve visual mental imagery, recruits visual cortical areas. H215O positron emission tomography was performed in humans during presentation of gratings to the right index fingerpad. Selective attention to grating orientation significantly increased regional cerebral blood flow, relative to a control task involving selective attention to grating dimensions, in a region located in left parieto-occipital cortex. We propose that this activation reflects the use of imagery-related visuo-spatial processes to enable the tactile discrimination of orientation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
