Electrophysiological Correlates of Successful Visual Mental Imagery

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The spatiotemporal analysis of brain activation during the execution of visual mental imagery tasks was performed in 14 normal young adult subjects using ERPs. Results showed that Successful mental imagery elicited a more positive ERP deflection (P600-1000) than Unsuccessful mental imagery between 600–1000 ms, which was possibly related to forming visual mental imagery on the basis of initial stimuli classification and identification. Then, a greater slow positivity (P1000-1500) in Successful mental imagery as compared to unsuccessful mental imagery might be associated with detected over the frontal scalp regions between 1000-1500 ms, which might be involved in maintaining mental imagery and making decisions in working memory.
