Neural substrates of visual percepts, imagery, and hallucinations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 March 2003
Abstract
Recent neural models clarify many properties of mental imagery as part of the process whereby bottom-up visual information is influenced by top-down expectations, and how these expectations control visual attention. Volitional signals can transform modulatory top-down signals into supra-threshold imagery. Visual hallucinations can occur when the normal control of these volitional signals is lost.
