Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
And at one point in that conversation with that scientist, Joel.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
He said he thinks he can give it some... Whoa!
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
Wait, how would he even do that?
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
Yeah, so Joel found that when he ran this very low electrical current through people's visual cortex, their imagery actually got stronger.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
Now, he does think it would be more complicated for people who are starting out with no imagery.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
I'll tell you why after the break.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
And the person you just heard, his name is Derek.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
And he is the opposite of me.
Science Vs
Aphantasia: Missing the Mind's Eye
Like when I asked him to describe his apple, his description was wild.
