I suppose you could have an underdeveloped fusiform face area because of this...
Yes, of course there are. But they are not and there are not AFAIK clinical tests for aphantasia.

some lit rev here if you haven't see it already by
@neurocritic http://neurocritic.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/imagine-these-experiments-in-aphantasia.html … -
so one way to sci investigate would be to get aphantasics and non-ap ppl into an fMRI and decode them imagining or
-
trying to imagine and compare the voxels w/ them actually looking at the thing. Would be way of comparing subjective
-
experience VS voxel activations. Esp since we know imagining in non-ap ppl involves visual cortex a lot.
-
what sort of thing do you have in mind as an imagining task?
-
the 2 conds would be "imagine an X" vs "look at this X"; X = basiclevel categs (cat, dog, ect) as we already do.
-
this is simple stuff already done, my spin is one group will be aphantasics and non-aphs.
-
*one group ap, one non-ap

I'd been under the impression the early recognition of the concept was tied up with mental rotation exercises but I may be confused
-
you can read all the stuff linked to in the article, at that point you'll know more than me on this for sure, haha

I don't think aphantasia is a clinically recognised term at all yet is it?

I doubt it
