New work with @TimoKvamme @MerlinMonzel and Yoko Nagai: Aphantasia has been linked to alexithymia & poorer mental health, but why? 🤔 Since mental health is tied to interoception, we examined whether interoceptive processing plays a role in this relationship. #aphantasia 1/5

[Jianghao Liu @jianghao_liu_]

Could we consider aphantasia as unconscious mental imagery? We argue that the aphantasia doesn’t meet a critical criterion for (unconscious) imagery: Representations during imagery are perceptual-like.

@alexeijoel @kerblooee @nadine_dijkstra Thanks for sharing! I'm so rarely on Twitter that I often don't catch it. I agree that with 16 schizophrenic participants, the data is preliminary at best. However, we did eye dominance calibration.
