Peter Ulric Tse is professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA. His lab looks into the cognitive and neural processes behind our visual perception, attention, consciousness and, recently, the brain activity involved in imagination. The results of his studies suggest that ‘imagination’ is a process which takes place across both sides of the brain, in numerous different regions across the neural network.
