"discovered" as it was hidden knowledge to anyone with aphantasia. I can imagine geometry without seeing it "it's obvious" only because I don't know the other way
Fascinating new study: The visual cortex in people (like me!! 👋) with #aphantasia processes visual info but doesn’t translate it into conscious images. This disconnect explains why they can “know” details (like layouts) without “seeing” them—mental pictures don’t fully form. (Can confirm!)
People who can’t picture images in their ‘mind’s eye’ still represent them in their brains
Imaging study of people with aphantasia reveals differences—but not a complete deficit—in visual processing area
