{"product_id":"image-and-brain-stephen-m-kosslyn-9780262611244","title":"Image And Brain: The Resolution of the Imagery Debate","description":"This long-awaited work by prominent Harvard psychologist Stephen Kosslyn integrates a twenty-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery. \u003ci\u003eImage and Brain\u003c\/i\u003e marshals insights and empirical results from computer vision, neuroscience, and cognitive science to develop a general theory of visual mental imagery, its relation to visual perception, and its implementation in the human brain. It offers a definitive resolution to the long-standing debate about the nature of the internal representation of visual mental imagery.\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen M.
