A report on our New Study: Don’t think of a Pink Elephant!

Aphants, and people with low vividness imagery, may be resistant to intrusive visualisations!

The pink elephant test: what your visual imagination predicts about your ability to control your thoughts

Research shows people with more vivid visual imaginations may also be more prone to certain kinds of intrusive thoughts.

Is perceptual novelty important in your research? We created, standardised, and validated a database of truly novel perceptual stimuli (matched to BOSS objects on size, contrast, luminance & colourfulness) so you don't have to! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
