"imagi- nation is the only nation i really accept. imagination, fantasy is my home. its limitless, inclusive, exclusive, colourful, dark, full of shadows and light, sunny, luna-tic, crazy, full of changes and variations and all mine. no one can take up space there. there are no wars, no conflicts, only adventurous spirit and curiousness. " — Luisa Francia, from her online diary
Last night I talked with a fellow poet about imagination and #aphantasia vs. #hyperphantasia.
A quote from Luisa Francia, german author and artist came to mind.
She's been writing her online diary salamandra.de since the 90s, long before blogs became a thing

#Hyperphantasia is the opposite, meaning you can visualise things in your head. I struggle to wrap my brain around the fact that some people can't visualise stuff in their head (including my husband!).
The question about the dreams is I'm wondering if aphantasia folks don't dream.

Anyone on bsky have or know much about #hyperphantasia? I'm especially interested in hearing from those in the pagan or occult communities who incorporate it into their spiritual practice or have built UPG around it. (Article below) /|\

109: Phantasia Photo Description: Panel 1: Purple gradient dawn sky with a green and brown tree and a big nest full of spoons between the branches. The nest belongs to Rye, a crow currently sitting in it. On a nearby branch is a screech owl named Nugget, a pelican named Deep Dish, and a barn owl named Cupcake. Rye begins, "I'M APHANTASIC. I CAN'T IMAGINE AN APPLE AT ALL." Next Nugget responds, "I'm hypophantasic. I can only picture a red blob." Above her is the large red blob she imagines. Panel 2: Deep Dish replies, "HYPERPHANTASIC HERE! I CAN IMAGINE THE APPLE SO WELL I CAN PRACTICALLY TASTE IT!" He imagines an apple so real it looks like a photo was taken of an actual apple by the Creator. Panel 3: Deep Dish chomps the realistic apple. The other birds are amused. Panel 4: Cupcake adds, "I um... Picture the computer?" She imagines the brand "Apple", a silver laptop. The other birds are amused by this also.

Reposting this - still looking for more participants! Especially if you (think you) have #aphantasia or #hyperphantasia, we are very interested in hearing from you... Also if you have experience of #prophantasia (cc @kerblooee.bsky.social)

We (@eazanon.bsky.social et al.) conducted a conceptual (N=185) and direct (N=56) replication, and found no effect of imagery vividness on perception across diverse populations (UK, DE), platforms (online, lab), and even comparing #aphantasia vs. #hyperphantasia. However...

A 2007 study found that vivid imagery interferes with perceptual processing, proposing an objective behavioral measure of imagery vividness.
The study has never been replicated, despite being underpowered (N=8) and including no imagery extremes

"Hyperphantasia is the ability to see clear mental imagery (to see in pictures). This is often very detailed and can include the ability to feel, smell or hear what is being thought of. Aphantasia is the inability to see in pictures, where the person tends to think in words instead. If there are some mental images then they tend to be less vivid. This also makes it hard to recall memories."
What is hyperphantasia and aphantasia?

Living In Books (daydream) Ever sit with a book On some gloomy day And open its pages To transport away? The feel of the grass 'Where The Red Fern Grows' Surviving harsh Terminus Where first 'Foundation' glows Warm with heat of the forge From 'The Lord Of The Rings' Hear 'The Harpers of Pern' And dance as they sing Lose all color completely When dreaming 'The Giver' Taste the mafia pizza That 'Snow Crash' delivers 'Before The Coffee Gets Cold' Sip java (that's sadder) A deck heaves and shifts 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' Ever sit with a book That brightens your day Where all of your friends Are waiting to play?

portrait recruitment flyer with a dark grey background and 3 large coloured text boxes (dark yellow, forest green, dark orange) with rounded corners arranged from the top (largest box) to the bottom (smallest box) of the flyer, slightly overlapping. There is the University of Edinburgh logo in the top right corner, a QR code in the bottom left corner, and 3 coloured drawings of brains (viewed from the top, same colours as the boxes) in lightbulbs. There are 3 drawings representing light strings, with a black line and light yellow circles below the line, stretched diagonally between the boxes and lightbulbs. The top box (yellow) includes the title in dark grey "Aphantasia & Autism", with additional information in white "We want to explore your social cognition — how you understand others’ cognition—how you understand others’ thoughts and feelings — focusing specifically on visual perspective-taking: seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. YOUR INSIGHTS ARE VALUABLE!". Below, the green box details the inclusion criteria in dark grey "Participants: are you over the age of 16? do you struggle to make mental images or visualise things? and/or do you have a clinical ASD diagnosis or self-identify as autistic? Then you could be perfect for our study!". The final box (orange) indicates how to join the study "Follow the link or scan the QR code to find the questionnaire and get the chance of win a £10 voucher! https://edin.ac/4h1ghPU For more information or to get in touch, email us at s2052225@ed.ac.uk".
📣 My dissertation students Freya & Lauren are doing cool intersectional research on #aphantasia / #hyperphantasia & #autism, testing a task to make it easier for people to join research online.
If you're one or several of the above (or none), please go to edin.ac/4h1ghPU or get in touch w them!

Hyperphantasia is the condition of having extremely vivid mental imagery. It is the opposite condition to aphantasia, where mental visual imagery is not present.

Lucid dreams can be visually extremely vivid, detailed and realistic. So our brain is capable of very high quality mental imagery, perhaps like #hyperphantasia. Then what is normally blocking our brain from switching to such a state while awake? We have a use case. #neuroscience
