title: The neural basis of mental imagery.
abstract: Mental visual images can be employed for widely different tasks and they can depict widely different kinds of visual entities. There is evidence that the context and content of mental visual images matter for the determination of their neural basis. Single case studies demonstrate that there are at least five kinds of visual entities whose imagery can be affected independently from each other: shapes of objects, colours of objects, faces, letters and spatial relationships.
