As I said, we have used the term to make a distinction between what is belongs to the human subject, this is precisely as a knowing and desiring subject, and the equipment (and environment).
Our external and somatic senses are not imagination.
Illusions are not imagination.
Expectations are not imagination.
Social pressures are not imagination, though internalized.
Habits are not imagination.
Moods are not imagination.
Emotions are not imagination.
Feelings are not imagination.
A predisposition to prefer what is louder is not imagination.
A predisposition to choose between different things is not imagination.
In some uses, intellect is not imagination.
And so on.Nevertheless, these are usually classed as mental. And, they can affect how we perceive high fidelity equipment and a lot of other things.
I have no wish to impose a particular philosophical psychology on you, such as that of Aristotle or Merleau-Ponty, but there are a whole host of functions and activities to be accounted for.
