Describe Kreiman et al (2000) study on single cell recordings and explain what they found. | Electrodes were implanted in epileptic patients. single cell responses to presented stimuli were measured. The results showed that the same cells' responded to imaginations of the same stimuli. |

Describe Ganis et al. (2004) Comprehensive fMRI Study. | Activity in the front, middle and rear brain was measured for perception versus imagery. Results found that there was no difference in front brain, none in middle slices of brain, & subtle differences in back of brain. |
There is not perfect overlap between perception and imagery. What is the differences between the two? | Perception involves sensory input (bottom-up) + knowledge (top-down), while imagery involves knowledge (top-down) but no sensory input. |
