Cover Story: The question of whether the early visual cortex (EVC) is involved in visual mental imagery remains a topic of debate. In this paper, it has been proposed that the inconsistency in findings can be explained by the unique challenges associated with investigating EVC activity during imagery. If the EVC is represented by visual details during imagery as during perception, any change in the visual details of the mental image would lead to corresponding changes in EVC activity. Therefore, the question should not be whether the EVC is ‘active’ during imagery but how its activity relates to specific imagery properties. Studies explicitly investigating this relationship consistently show that imagery can indeed recruit the EVC in similar ways as perception. View this paper
