Mindsight Blind. Unlocking the Mystery of Aphantasia; How Our Senses Adapt

from Running Man Self Regulation Skills Project · host Armando Dominguez PhD Health Psychology, Educator, Martial Artist, Researcher

  Ep 45. Aphantasia Explained: Enhancing Perception Beyond Visualization.  Aphantasia, affecting a small percentage, prevents individuals from visualizing in their mind's eye. This condition may have evolved due to limited light conditions, enhancing other senses. Brain scans reveal active executive engagement during visualization attempts in aphantasic individuals. However, slower executive function in urgent situations contrasts with heightened sensory awareness in low-light environments. Visual perception is incredibly fast. Take care and walk well. Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast. Let me know where you're from and how you are doing in your little part of the world!
