A growing number of studies have demonstrated overlapping neural mechanisms between visual mental imagery and perception. This has led to increasing emphasis on visual cortex representations in theories, and definitions, of mental imagery.

Following recent proposals that attentional templates may be closely related to mental images, across 3 experiments we investigated whether the automatic implementation of visual attentional templates and their impact on involuntary attention is affected by imagery abilities.

Across two studies, we collected objective and subjective measures of individual differences in interoception, physiological (HR and SCR) and subjective responses (appraisal, emotional experience) to abstract and representational artworks.

What is the link between trait mental imagery (e.g., aphantasia) and phenomenological control? How is this link affected by demand characteristics? Find out in our new preprint (psyarxiv.com/7qmfj/) with Carla Dance, Zoltan Dienes, Julia Simner, Sophie Forster & @PeterLush4

In Study 1, we tested > 500 participants on the Phenomenological Control Scale (PCS; Lush et al., 2021), measuring the ability to alter experience following imaginative suggestions, and VVIQ, indexing trait visual imagery, collecting measures separately (single-blind procedure).

Thanks to all the people who joined our Consciousness Salon "Beyond voluntary mental imagery". Despite some technical issues, it was great to chat with all of you about involuntary imagery, aphantasia, synaesthesia etc.! 😊 @24Assc @theASSC #ASSC24
