In a thought-provoking discussion, producer Sindhu Gnanasambandan explores aphantasia, the inability to visualize mental images, alongside neuroscientist Mark Whitman and cognitive neuroscience professor Joel Pearson. They contrast this with Lulu’s experience of hyperphantasia, where vivid imagery shapes her perceptions. The guests dive into how these differences affect memory and emotional responses, and they even touch on groundbreaking research suggesting ways to induce mental imagery in those who can't visualize. It’s a fascinating journey into the mind's eye!
