Can you imagine a smell? For example, can you bring to mind the smell of a flower, as though it was in front of you right now?

Very good question! I know of a few people who have been trying to record aphantasia in participants in visual short-term memory tasks, but haven’t seen any of their results yet. (
@l_nobis,@neuroRaquel, is this still a thing?) -
I wonder if there are artists with aphantasia.

There was an exhibition of artists with aphantasia and hyperphantasia as part of the Extreme Imagination conference, in Exeter in Aprilhttps://www.rammuseum.org.uk/past-exhibitions/extreme-imagination-minds-eye/ …

Either way it's obviously not that serious, bit has to have cognitive repercussions of some kind, otherwise how can we even measure it. I wonder if having it affects aphantasics' ability to navigate. I certainly have highly detailed visual representations that I use to navigate.
