Do you have a problem visualizing images? According to researchers, you could have a newly defined condition called aphantasia.
The more a person is inclined to visualize, the more impulsive they are, a new study reports.
Neurons found to be abnormal in psychosis play an important role in our ability to distinguish between what is real and what is perceived, researchers say.
While people with aphantasia lack visual imagery ability, they have intact spatial memory. Findings suggest mental imagery recall and spatial memory may be stored differently in the brain.
Music can paint similar stories in listeners' minds, but the degree to which the imagined narratives are shared depends upon the degree to which culture is shared between the listeners.
