Abstract: |
Subjective reports on mental images may not be consistent with the appearance of seen images (distortion), and may not be consistent with each other (uncertainty). We introduce a method for estimating the distortions and uncertainty associated with mental images from subjective reports. Application of the method to a small preliminary dataset suggests that distortion and uncertainty in mental imagery arise from overscaling and undersampling imagined objects. |
