Aphantasia, Memory, and Brain Research

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we explore whether or not people with aphantasia struggle with memory more than those who can visualize. We discuss a study that found that aphantastic folks have weaker object memories but strong spacial memories. We play some memory games, try and remember Cole's high school graduation and discuss some intriguing brain research involving aphantasia and memory.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7856239/https://neurosciencenews.com/aphantasia-memory-25667/#:%7E:text=People%20with%20aphantasia%20have%20more,the%20visual%20cortex%20in%20aphantasicsSupport the showHere is a link to the apple graph, the nature picture, and the carnival picture. https://www.shanesbraindomain.com/aphantasiaYou could be on the podcast with YouPhantasia!
