Yes, that's right.  No-one needs to accept my anecdotal evidence.
What I have read about various tests done to find out what part
of the brain reacts to some outside stimulus is one thing.  However,
I'm not aware of any tests which allows a person to create an
object inside his/her own brain and have that person move that
imagined object from one part of the brain to another.  I think it
would be interesting to see the results of such a test on an MRI.
When a person moves such an imagined object around within
the brain, does the brain light up in the areas of where this
object has been moved to?

If such a test has actually ever been done, I'd sure like
to know the results.  I know what I felt.  But, can others
feel the same?  Has this ever been tested?
