                  Pylyshyn revives the spectre of the ``little green
                  man'', arguing for a largely symbolic representation
                  of visual imagery. To clarify this problem, we
                  provide precise definitions of the key term
                  ``picture'', present some examples of our
                  definition, and outline an information-theoretic
                  analysis suggesting that the problem of addressing
                  data in the brain requires a partially analogue and
                  partially symbolic solution. This is made concrete
                  in the ventral stream of object recognition, from V1
                  to IT cortex.},
