Pylyshyn, Z.W. (2003). Return of the mental image: Are there really pictures in the brain? Trends in Cognitive Science, 7, 113-118
the format of thinking: thinking about how something looks and thinking about what it means
picture theory: picture of mental images: a type of picture which has location and values in space
neuroscientists claim that there is a mental image which is projecting a two dimensional moving picture onto the surface of visual cortex
cortical images in vision vs cortical images in imagery
in vision: cortical images, caused by light on retina
imagery: mental images, caused by top down projection from higher cognitive structures
-mental images are spatial: objects in an image seem to be in some spatial relation relative to one another
