  • I wonder if one day there will be studies on multisensory aphantasia. The article mentions sound, like the inability to get a song stuck in your head, but same is true for taste, touch, smell and emotion.

    One of the bigger issues is that it impacts experiential and episodic memory, which creates continuity issues. So the person is stuck having to externalize everything in order to manually integrate it. So I disagree with the article re having the same behavior as seeing people. Maybe from the outside it looks this way, but not internally.

    The article says that people with that condition tend to be in technical not artistic fields, and I don’t see much of a difference. Technical fields rely on diagrams that you draw, which isn’t any different from drawing any picture. My point is that having an eye for design isn’t related to aphantasia at all.
