Submission + - Do you have aphantasia? (nytimes.com)
bravni writes: "Certain people, researchers have discovered, can’t summon up mental images — it’s as if their mind’s eye is blind. This month in the journal Cortex, the condition received a name: aphantasia."
Until reading this article, I myself never really understood that for most people "a mental image" was more than a figure of speech.
Who else has aphantasia? Did you find out long ago or only recently? How would you describe your thought processes, for example if you are asked what colour is your front door, how would you know the answer?
