Is a pear sweeter than a peach? Which of Mona Lisa's hands is
crossed over the other? What would the Moonlight Sonata sound like
played by a brass band? Although these are questions that appeal to
mental imagery in a variety of sensory modalities, mental imagery
research has been dominated by visual imagery. With the emergence
of a well-established multisensory research community, however, it
is time to look at mental imagery in a wider sensory context. Part
I of this book provides overviews of unisensory imagery in each
sensory modality, including motor imagery, together with
discussions of multisensory and cross-modal interactions,
synesthesia, imagery in the blind and following brain damage, and
methodological considerations. Part II reviews the application of
mental imagery research in a range of settings including individual
differences, skilled performance such as sports and surgical
training, psychopathology and therapy, through to stroke
rehabilitation. This combination of comprehensive coverage of the
senses with reviews from both theoretical and applied perspectives
not only complements the growing multisensory literature but also
responds to recent calls for translational research in the
multisensory field.
