      This guy can't visualise images. He's not alone. Have a read. Sound familiar? https://m.facebook.com/notes/blake-ross/aphantasia-how-it-feels-to-be-blind-in-your-mind/10156834777480504/ …

      Same! I didn't even know it was a thing until like two years ago, I had no idea people could actually see things in their minds

      This is just earth-shattering to me that you don't do it. Obviously you do perfectly well without but it's such a non-stop thing in my life

      I’d be totally buggered without the ability, work-wise, as I create visual images, abstracts, to solve problems.

      Yeah that guy in the link writes scripts for a TV show without being able to imagine the characters or situations and does it fine

      I could still do what I do, but would be a lot more effort, a lot more steps.

      Maybe. Maybe not. AFAIK, it's not something you've lost, you just never had it, so the way to deal is just normal for you

      I think that's probably right. I think if you lost it, your brain would have a tougher time working things out

      Has anybody managed to experimentally test this?

      Self reporting is ok as a first step but certainly more rigorous methods could be used. fMRI comes to mind. Areas would not light up, etc.

          What would be really cool is looking at it in a multivariate way, eg the similarity spaces of a visualiser vs non to see how representations

          differ. Would be interesting to see how, if they were diff, problems still got solved by both groups.

          Oh, I see. Their frontal cortex doesn't light up as much. But this is at rest. So hmm.

          Too much criticism for this work is coming to mind, but I hope they keep going and design experiments not just resting state.
