Filled-in sensations: The primordial species of imagery?

Journal/Book: Behav Brain Sci. 1998; 21: 40 West 20Th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA. Cambridge Univ Press. 771+.

Abstract: Filled-in sensations exhibit a distinctive melange of causal features, resembling perceptual sensations in some respects and imagery in others. This commentary identifies several of these shared causal features and advances the hypothesis that filled-in sensations may constitute the primordial species of imagery, the evolutionary neurofunctional precursor of paradigmatic forms of imagery.
