A beautifully written piece on our 2024 Current Biology paper on audio-visual processing in aphantasia, starring the insight from our very own aphantasic co-author Roberto S. Luciani

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and the predictive processing theories Active Inference (AI) and Neurorepresentationalism (NREP) have different views on how conscious percepts arise. The INTREPID project explores these contrasting theories! https://t.co/A507RoheRX

Freshly out in @CurrentBiology! Aphantasic participants, who report a blind imagination, show reduced decoding of auditory scenes in early visual areas. With C.Abbatecola, R.Luciani, @AngusPaton @jo_bergmann @petravetter1 L.Petro @LarsMuckli 👁️👁️: https://t.co/2QUMuy0Cgj 1/2

The paper is the third of a trilogy suggesting that  congenitally blind, control and aphantasic participants have different levels of feedback reaching their early visual areas. Could weaker feedback to EVC be a marker for aphantasia? Read more here: https://t.co/2QUMuy0Cgj 2/2
