We planned an experiment on visual imagery which is widely used in qigong and meditation training. We gave a task of an indicated image of a flower and measured the cerebral activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during it in a task-rest. Compared with the control condition, we saw Area 17 of the right side are activated.
