"Rather than dysfunctions in a single brain region, we identified a breakdown in feedback along a cortical pathway from the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) through area V3AB to the early visual cortex (EVC) in #aphantasia."

Learning to #draw with #aphantasia is sometimes really exhausting.🫠
Most books, tutorials and guides are useless to me because I have no visual imagination. My mind thinks in terms of meaning and concepts (not images) and since a few days I try to learn #pixelart.

You can't improve what doesn't exist? – but I wonder if I would want to have some visualizing capability after never having it?

Any other "Midnight Scouts" out there? I’ve realized that being a creator with aphantasia isn't about lack of vision; it’s about mastering the "decay rate." Check out my hew article and let me know how you bring your dreams into the light. #aphantasia #dreams #memory #creativity #art #music #writing

Last year I stumbled on the concept of #aphantasia - not a lack of Disney classics, but an inability to create mental imagery - and realised it was something I seemed to have.
This is fascinating article on the idea:

As a person with #Aphantasia do you consider yourself lacking in creativity? When was the last time you let a project tell you what it was becoming? Come join the conversation on #Substack

Do you get frustrated by the saying, “picture this”? Perhaps you are like me, a person who, when their eyes are closed, sees only blackness. Know this - You ARE NOT broken! #aphantasia #sdam #grounding #relaxation #binaural #biofeedback

Not a bad likeness for Jacob with this technique. I think I like this *way* more than struggling to get every single lined detail correct.

🧠 Close your eyes and picture a rocket ship landing on an alien planet — what do you see? If your answer is "nothing at all," you might have aphantasia, a real condition where the brain simply doesn't generate mental images.

I’m really excited to share that I’ve reached a milestone in a project I’ve been working on which is related to my diagnosis of Aphantasia/SDAM. Please check it out. #fundraising #aphantasia #sdam #substack open.substack.com/pub/rabbitfl...

Being an artist with #aphantasia is very silly.
there’s no feeling, no mood, no ‘vibe’.
It’s years of built up knowledge and brute force.
Consistency is fleeting. the process is a checklist.
Style is found by enforced limitations based on preferences.
But boy howdy, I do really love doing it.

🔊 New preprint 🧠 for the first time we show congenital #aphantasia has physical brain anatomy alterations.
Surprisingly, they have structurally intact #visual pathways. Structural alterations instead found in the fronto-temporal and cingulate systems.

There's been some visualisation chat on here today re visuals/voices/music/pain etc but I'm curious:
How strong is your internal experience of empathetical or remembered emotion? 🤔

…brain (the prefrontal cortex), which is responsible for conscious awareness."
"This suggests that #aphantasia isn't a "broken" visual system. Instead, it’s likely a connection issue. The images are being processed deep in the brain, but they aren't reaching the "screen" of your conscious mind."

New work with Muhan Yan and @WilmaBainbridge is now out in Neuropsychologia! We show that people with #aphantasia still have a picture memory advantage, despite not using mental imagery to aid retrieval. This challenges 50 years of work on dual-coding theory.

I do the #aphantasia which means that I am FULLY INCAPABLE of “visualization” in the way most people are. I DESPISE when people try to use my existence to try and justify the existence of these planet-destroying, water guzzling nightmares. Tell em how stupid and wrong they are every time! >:( #fucka

Ich erhöhe um: nach 50 Jahren mit #Aphantasia befassen und feststellen, dass andere den ganzen Apfel in 4K "sehen" und nicht nur ein schwer greifbares Drahtgittermodell das undeutlicher wird, je mehr man es sich vorstellen will. 😁
