Aphantasia

Aphantasia is a condition where individuals are unable to create mental images or visualize scenes in their mind’s eye. Unlike most people who can imagine and picture things, those with aphantasia experience a lack of visual mental imagery, which can affect memory, creativity, and daydreaming. It’s a neurological variation rather than a disorder, and many people with aphantasia live normal, fulfilling lives, often relying on other senses or cognitive strategies for thinking and memory. Research is ongoing to understand its causes and implications fully.
