When you have a feedback section at the end of your study and the person just writes "dope" 👌😁
From the article: "The ability to conjure mental imagery is a key aspect of being human."

Cool! A new mental imagery scale that gets rid of the pesky relative rating problem: what if my 4 is your 6? Led by @heidasigurdar.bsky.social:

Paper now published in Neuroscience of Consciousness and led by @chkhaidze.bsky.social:
From dots to faces: individual differences in visual imagery capacity predict the content of Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations

So @mmonzel.bsky.social read my bsky thread and proposed we extend these ideas into a theory paper - and thus, this preprint was born!
A unifying theory of aphantasia: Aphantasia as the inability to disengage from the external environment
