visualises

Sees in mind

Visualises is the British spelling of visualizes.

To visualise is to form a mental image of something not present: She visualised the finished garden before planting a single flower.

The term extends to making something visible that normally isn't—data visualisation turns numbers into charts and graphs.

Athletes visualise success; meditation guides ask you to visualise calm places.
