Perceptual Divergence: Hyperphantasia, Face Blindness, and Synaesthesia

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week we are back to our regular two-host shenanigans and we are exploring the different ways that people perceive the world. Hyperphantasia is the enhanced ability to visualise things in your mind’s eye, Mitch conducts the “Cube Test” on Tom to test hist ability, come and try it out yourself! Tom looks at face blindness and asks why specifically encoding identity information with facial features gets specifically targeted. Finally, the boys explore Synaesthesia, a fascinating perceptual experience where some individuals senses are biologically intertwined leading sound to produce colours!
