The fields of psychology and neuroscience are in the midst of an explosion of research seeking to understand human - the ability to form thoughts and mental images that stretch beyond what is currently available to the senses. Imaginative thought is proving to be remarkably diverse, capturing the capacity to recall past experiences, consider what lies ahead, and understand others' minds, in addition to other forms of creative and spontaneous thinking. In the first part of this article, we introduce an integrative framework that attempts to explain how components of a core brain network facilitate interacting features of imagination that we refer to as the "mind's eye" and "mind's mind." We then highlight three emerging research directions that could inform our understanding of how imagination arises and unfolds in everyday life.
心理学和神经科学领域正处于研究的爆发期，旨在理解人类——形成超越当前感官所及的思想和心理意象的能力。事实证明，想象性思维极为多样，除了其他形式的创造性和自发性思维外，还涵盖了回忆过去经历、思考未来之事以及理解他人心理的能力。在本文的第一部分，我们引入了一个综合框架，试图解释核心脑网络的各个组成部分如何促进我们称之为“心灵之眼”和“心灵之智”的想象的相互作用特征。然后，我们重点介绍三个新兴的研究方向，这些方向有助于我们理解想象在日常生活中是如何产生和展开的。
