Article Synopsis
  • Before the Perseverance rover, Jezero crater's floor was theorized to have different origins, including lake-related or volcanic processes.
  • SuperCam's findings over the first 286 days indicated a volcanic terrain characterized by varying compositions, primarily basaltic, with higher levels of plagioclase in upper strata and richer pyroxene in lower strata.
  • The study identified the first Martian cumulate rock, highlighting its olivine-rich content and suggesting brief past watery conditions based on the presence of various alteration materials.

Imagery research has identified two main visual perspectives, external visual imagery (EVI, third person) and internal visual imagery (IVI, first person). Based upon findings from brain imaging literature showing that different neural substrates are recruited for IVI and EVI perspectives, and that IVI activates motor system brain areas, we hypothesised that a concurrent action dual task would cause greater interference in performance for IVI than EVI. In a first experiment, participants were allocated to either an IVI or an EVI group, and were tasked with moving an onscreen marker towards a target in three blocked conditions: imagery, imagery with a concurrent motor dual-task of sequencing, and a math control.
