• This article traces the history of the study of visual imagery, beginning with cognitive psychology and extending into the cognitive neuroscience approach of the last two decades. Issues concerning the relation between perception and imagery, the brain localization of imagery, and the neural systems underlying visual image generation are discussed. Diverse sources of evidence, including reaction time studies, patient-based behavioral studies, event-related potentials, and functional neuroimaging are reviewed.
