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.
