Notes:
Two groups of subjects were selected from a previously studied population sample: a group of habitual visualizers, most of whom developed eye movements during recall of motion, and a group of non-visualizers, most of whom did not. EEG following responses to red photic flicker differed markedly for the two groups, being diminished in visualizers but enhanced in non-visualizers as compared to their EEG following responses to blue or green. Mental and visual imagery tasks induced significantly greater alpha blocking in visualizers than in non-visualizers. The partial or complete desynchronization of on-going rhythmic EEG activity suggests a lower threshold for EEG desynchronization for visualizers than for non-visualizers. The augmented EEG following of non-visualizers to red flicker appears to represent a different aspect of the same response continuum.
