Really proud to have contributed to this review. It feels like a step toward validating an idea that is still underexplored: video games are a rich and largely untapped resource for cognitive and behavioral scientists.
Many thanks to all co-authors, in particular PhD student Syrine Salouhou (not on Bsky), @edgardubourg.bsky.social, @glitchers.bsky.social, @hugospiers.bsky.social
🚨 New publication in collab with Shayna Rosenbaum's lab:
"Aphantasia is associated with spatial memory and navigation difficulties in complex virtual environments"
Our test SeaHeroQuest shows a correlation between nav performance and mental imagery (VVIQ)
