Neuroscience research demonstrates that the visual areas of the brain are divided into two distinct pathways. The dorsal, or spatial, and ventral, or object pathways. The object pathway  runs from occipital lobe to inferior temporal lobe, processing visual appearances of objects in terms of color, detail, shape, and size. The spatial pathway runs from occipital <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=663" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

In this line of research, we investigate how visualization may facilitate learning scientific concepts and solving physics problems.  In particular,  we investigate how individual differences in visualization ability affect learning  sciences and processing abstract scientific representations. Our research (Kozhevnikov, Hegarty, &#38; Mayer, 2002; Kozhevnikov, &#38; Thornton, 2006) has shown that spatial visualization <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=645" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Our research on allocentric-egocentric spatial processing  includes  three main directions:

 Development of allocentric and egocentric spatial assessments
Spatial Navigation and Individual Differences in Environmental Representations 
Spatial Updating


This line of research focuses on examining the dissociation between the two types of spatial imagery transformations: allocentric spatial transformations, which involve an object-to-object representational system and encode <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=308" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Kozhevnikov, Louchakova, Josipovic, &#38; Motes (2009) examined the effects of meditation on mental imagery, evaluating Buddhist monks’ reports concerning their extraordinary imagery skills. Practitioners of Buddhist meditation were divided into two groups according to their preferred meditation style: Deity Yoga (focused attention on an internal visual image) or Open Presence (evenly distributed attention, not directed <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=304" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Our research on visual-spatial processing in different domains follow three directions:

Visualization processes in physics
Visualization in art
Meditation

In our research, we investigate  visualization processing  and visual representations in different  specialization domains such as physics and visual art. A separate line of research examined visualization in meditation, and its the effects on mental imagery abilities, <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=45" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

The research in the Mental Imagery lab focuses on investigating visualization processes and individual differences in mental imagery in cognitive style. In particular, we examine how individual differences in visualization ability affect more complex activities, such as spatial navigation, learning and problem solving in mathematics, science and art. We also explore ways to train visual-object <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=9" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
