Breaking: New discovery, imagery in aphantasia
New paper just out
Hello dear reader,
Imagery in aphantasia! That is one of the findings of a new paper we just published in Current Biology. Below, I’ve put together everything you need to understand what we show and what it means for our understanding of aphantasia, mental imagery and consciousness.
Here’s my video explainer of the study:

I can relate to everything Leigh says except for the inner monologue. I only have my thoughts no sounds. Your study explains exactly how I've tried to explain Aphantasia to others. I KNOW the image is there ... Somewhere .... I just can't access it.
Wow. Great work. More definitive proof of the different mechanisms behind how aphants brains work.
I have often felt that there was some connection to location in the brain and how signals move across or why they go where they go.
I have spent lots of time working on cohesion and it's helped with many of the other often indirect symptoms. Hasn't helped me create any images though:-(
