Keyword: VisionAbstract: Eye movements during mental imagery and visual perception share similar spatial patterns. We tested 51 participants and measured eye fixations during imagery, part-based perception (gaze-contingent viewing) and holistic perception (artificial scotoma). Bayesian hierarchical generalized regression models revealed high resemblance of scanpaths (MultiMatch score) during part-based perception and mental imagery.
