Recent advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have furnished
increasingly informative and accurate maps of the retinotopy and functional organization in
human visual cortex. Here we review how information in those sensory-based maps is
topographically related to, and influenced by, more cognitive visuo-spatial dimensions, such
as mental imagery, spatial attention, repetition effects and size perception.
