    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Studies of mental imagery often ask participants to attend to a\nvisual scene at the same time as their mental imagery. Despite\nthe common intuition that imagery and perception interfere\n(known as the Perky effect), results in such experiments are\nnot typically distinguished from those found when\nparticipants engage with mental imagery with their eyes\nclosed. Nevertheless, studies which demonstrate the analog\nnature of mental images by recording the time taken for\nparticipants to scan across images have consistently found\nquicker scanning speeds when participants have eyes open\npaying attention to a visual scene as compared to with eyes\nclosed. We show here that these results are due to the external\nscanning of attention across a visual scene and argue for a\nreevaluation of the results of such paradigms.",
