Dear colleagues,
This is our final Call for Papers for a Special Collection on "Music and Mental Imagery" in Music & Science.
https://journals.sagepub.com/page/mns/special-collections/music-and-mental-imagery
Full manuscripts can be submitted any time until 31 August 2022. As Music & Science runs continuously, each article accepted by peer review is made freely available online immediately upon publication, is published under a Creative Commons license and will be hosted online in perpetuity.

About the Special Collection:
There has recently been a renewed focus on mental imagery and its underlying (quasi-)perceptual processes in the cognitive sciences, including attempts to reconsider well-known psychological phenomena such as dreaming, episodic memory or synaesthesia as forms of mental imagery, and discoveries of people unable to form visual and auditory mental images on the one hand—conditions coined aphantasia and anauralia, respectively—and cases of individuals experiencing extremely vivid mental imagery on the other.
Mental imagery is highly relevant in a variety of musical contexts, too. For instance, many people experience involuntary musical imagery (i.e., earworms) several times a week; listening to music often evokes visual mental imagery (i.e., images in the mind’s eye); musicians use a range of mental imagery strategies to prepare for performances (e.g., visualizing the score or imagining hand and finger movements); and composers utilize musical imagery to conjure up new worlds of sound and then try to capture them in notation.
To shed further light on the role of mental imagery in musical contexts, we invite submissions from scholars and practitioners working on any topic related to mental imagery and music such as (but not limited to):
Content and function of mental imagery during music listening and making
(In)voluntary musical imagery
Music-related mental imagery and emotional response
Mental imagery across the senses in musical activities
Music-related mental imagery in special conditions (e.g., synaesthesia, aphantasia, etc.)
Music-related mental imagery and other states of consciousness (e.g., absorption, trance, mind-wandering, etc.)
Neural substrates of music-related mental imagery
Role of mental imagery for creative processes in music
Mental imagery as practice and performance strategy
Music-related mental imagery from a cross-cultural perspective
Music-therapeutic uses of mental imagery
All best wishes,
