Hallucinations and mental imagery demonstrate top-down effects on visual perception
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 39:e248 (2016)
Abstract
In this commentary, we present two examples where perception is not only influenced by, but also in fact driven by, top-down effects: hallucinations and mental imagery. Crucially, both examples avoid all six of the potential confounds that Firestone & Scholl (F&S) raised as arguments against previous studies claiming to demonstrate the influence of top-down effects on perception.Author's Profile
