This study uses targeted neuromodulation to show that sensory and metacognitive performance in motion perception are dissociable, with V5/MT+ affecting discrimination and IPS/LIP affecting confidence.

The paper investigates the link between diastolic blood pressure and mental imagery vividness using an autonomic challenge, finding that elevated diastolic blood pressure predicts reduced imagery vividness.

This study finds that cardiac vagal reactivity predicts visual imagery vividness, suggesting autonomic input shapes mental imagery rather than being a mere consequence.

This study shows that cardiorespiratory coupling during memory encoding predicts trial-level accuracy but not retention, highlighting its role in cognitive performance.

The paper investigates how childhood trauma affects mental imagery through autonomic mechanisms, finding opposing pathways for different trauma types.

The paper investigates whether visual short-term memory and visual imagery use distinct representations by comparing performance in memory and imagery tasks.

This study investigates the role of early visual cortex in visual imagery accuracy and vividness using TMS and cross-adaptation, finding dissociable effects on these aspects.

The paper investigates how structural and functional brain network properties relate to the vividness of visual imagery in 273 participants.

The paper investigates how internal visual imagery and external visual stimuli interact in the brain using fMRI and MVPA, finding disruption of imagery in left lateral occipitotemporal cortex during external stimulus presentation.

This paper examines how baseline performance and brain state manipulations like priming influence the behavioral effects of TMS, finding that performance level determines whether TMS facilitates or impairs behavior.

The paper proposes a model explaining how TMS effects on behavior depend on stimulation intensity and neural excitability, showing how these factors can reverse adaptation effects.
