The functional organization of the brain for mental imagery and image rotation: an electroencephalographic investigation

Abstract

I would like to thank my parents, without whose upbringing I would never have developed a brain that never ceases to ask "why?", and my brother both of whose love and care have always had a special meaning for me. I will always be indebted to Michael O'Boyle who taught me everything I know about research and without whose support and friendship this dissertation would not have been possible. I thank Lloyd Avant and Alice Thieman whose friendship and support made Ames a nice place to be for me and my family. Last, but far from least I express my profound gratitude to my love and intellectual partner Anja, whose love, kindness and tolerance of me made this part of my life very special, in addition to making this work possible. I would also like to thank all my assistants; Julie Hathaway-Nepple, Shawn Hoth, Tony Stewart and Kellie Clemmer, whose kind help contributed greatly to the success of these experiments. My only hope is that they had as much fim working with me, I had working with them. I need to thank M.L. and D.K. for their gracious participation in these experiments as without their participation I would have not traveled as far or learned as much.
