What it's like to have aphantasia (the lack of mental imagery), with Zach Elwood

Описание: For podcast episode details, see https://behavior-podcast.com/intervie.... In June 2020, I was on Vikasan Pillai’s podcast "The Untypical Podcast," to talk about what it’s like to have aphantasia. This is a rebroadcast of that episode. We talk about: how one can be fully creative without having mental images; whether there's really a difference between those with aphantasia and those without or if it's perhaps merely a difference in describing our thought processes; the nature of dreaming and images in dreams; psychedelic drugs and hallucinations; the nature of memory and how that relates to mental imaging, and more.
