Lone – Hyperphantasia arrived!
I went all in, the purple signed copy with poster and stickers. You all know where these are going! #NowPlaying #Vinyl #Lone #Hyperphantasia -

This brilliant video by Mica, @PonderfulYT, is as clear an explanation as you’ll find of the neurodiversity movement, neurodivergence and neurotypicality, and their relation to disability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iicSLx19pc
And it’s not just good because Boba tries to steal the show! 😻

OK, I’ll try to choose things that aren’t in *any* of my fediverse profiles! Hmm 🤔
How about #biology, #HumanComputerInteraction, #learning, #mindfulness, #philosophy, #psychology and #UrbanDesign for starters?

“I couldn't really imagine, what it's like to not imagine…”
PHOTOREALISTIC IMAGINATION - APHANTASIA - HYPERPHANTASIA
Imagine…rather picture.. no, visualize a place in your m.....
What if none of these were an option for your brain? No going to your happy place, where the flowers are in bloom and the tea is hot? No being comforted by the golden sunset on the beach, or the vista from atop the mountain in your minds eye. Yes, “I couldn't really imagine what it's like to not imagine…”
The experience of those that live with Aphantasia, can be accompanied by memory issues and difficulty remembering faces. This is not to say, that these individuals cannot retain information, or remember intricate detail. When giving descriptions, people with Aphantasian will often cite detailed facts and data, rather than using imagery. Many are likely to be introverted, as well.
Some information on Aphantasia, dates back to the1880s but, there hasn’t been a lot of attention on the subject until recent years. The brain’s cerebral cortex is thought to function differently, causing interference with mental visualization. One view on Aphantasia considers, it may only be a different way of thinking; suggesting the Neurodivergent, rather than the neurological.
With Hyperphantasia, some people experience powerful imagery generation within the mind; or being said to have “Photorealistic Imagination”.
"Typically, individuals with hyper-imagination are able to construct imagery that is beyond detailed and brightly outlined—resulting in some individuals having the capability even to experience a 360-degree vision.."
Paul Deretskiy
The contrast between Aphantasia and Hyperphantasia, is just another fascinating reflection of the human mind. The links below are definitely a rabbit hole worth exploring. It seems I may know a bit about photorealistic imagery, as well as little more about myself. Imagining what one with Aphantasia may experience, I’m at a loss...
I imagine it may feel… like “being blind in your mind”. I couldn’t imagine, “what it’s like not to imagine”.
