The benefits of imagery use have been shown for athletes and neurological patients, but little is known about the benefits of motor and exercise imagery for older adults. Current research on movementrelated imagery is reviewed in this narrative article, with a focus on methods for estimating the ability to use motor and exercise imagery and the extent of their use. Recent investigations of moto...

For the inherent speckles in SAR imagery, the processing of object extraction becomes more difficult. Using the traditional target extraction arithmetic for optical imagery, we can not get ideal result on SAR imagery. Water object in SAR imagery represents as some continuous region with low lightness and strong speckle noise. The traditional method to extract low lightness object can be impleme...

Although imagery rescripting has long been part of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), recent years have seen a growing interest in the use of imagery rescripting interventions in CBT, especially with patients who struggle with distressing, intrusive imagery. This growth in the clinical applications of imagery has led to the creation of the current special issue of collected papers on imagery re...

In two studies, we explored the frequency and phenomenology of musical imagery. Study 1 used retrospective reports of musical imagery to assess the contribution of individual differences to imagery characteristics. Study 2 used an experience sampling design to assess the phenomenology of musical imagery over the course of one week in a sample of musicians and non-musicians. Both studies found e...

Mental imagery has been associated with many cognitive functions, both high and low-level. Despite recent scientific advances, the contextual and environmental conditions that most affect the mechanisms of visual imagery remain unclear. It has been previously shown that the greater the level of background luminance the weaker the effect of imagery on subsequent perception. However, in these exp...

Four previously identified patterns of meso-scale cloud organization in the trades — called Sugar, Gravel, Flowers, and Fish are studied using long-term records ground-based measurements, satellite observations reanalyzes. A deep neural network trained to detect these is applied imagery identify periods during which a particular pattern observed over Barbados Cloud Observatory. Surface-based re...

Stereoscopy is commonly used in film and interactive media to provide depth perception, but is not the only method available to meet this need. This paper examines fish tank virtual reality as an alternative to stereoscopy. A study was conducted using three methods of depth perception projection: a stereoscopic image, a fish tank virtual reality (VR) image, and a combination of stereoscopic and...
