Whenever I listen to someone or a speech my mind starts to show it and describe it to me with moving pictures like an animation throughout the whole speech. Sometimes I see it with colors but it happens when I focus. Am I forcing it? I'm just not sure what is going on? or is it just a normal human thing.
Great video! Quick question Prof. Pearson - any update on the planned study to train participants to visualize using tDCS?
not at the moment, sorry, still juggling the tricky ethics around it...
@@profjoelpearson Thanks for the update. I'm following your work for that study, lol. Hopefully you go down in history for it!
My conscious experience during visualization is essentially acknowledgement of my understanding or memory of what something looks like. It’s like a more rudimentary activity in which I’m processing just the information that makes up the image, and not the image itself. Not sure if I’m making complete sense
I may have aphantasia or hypophantasia and would be curious to have research done on myself to identify how my brain is reacting, actually I'm just curious in general in what it is doing since I am autistic. I swore I could visualise I have been able to again in deep meditation but it was only movement, like the twisting of scales or the flow of water or the momentum of a pendulum. I remember no dreams but I rarely have intensely vivid ones which are processed as if a real event and rarely when asked I could visualise something like a well, as if I could feel/ see the presence of cracked bricks, then with more prodding, I released it had no mass, no colour, no details, not even the transparent frame of the structure, nothing. in a fleeting moment it collapsed like a deck of cards, concept falling back into the abstract blankness of my usual thoughts. Sometimes when drawing in perspective I can get points to faintly appear so I can turn objects, or it's like feeling not seeing. But mostly if someone asked do you remember how x looked I could not visualise or tell you anything but base statitics of said person until shown. It's like I can visualise but am not, think of reading a book hearing the words getting the concept but no sensory details, you just don't. Maybe the occasional rare still frame which is vague and detail less or you feel if you're really focusing the movement of a dagger being thrown across the room, the disjointed clatter. (The example seems specific because it is. It happens so infrequently, I want to know why and how?) How does my description track to most cases? Also I recall earlier in life spending hours daydreaming in vivid detail as if I could construct my own film/ animation but now it feels like my brain uses language pathways so no other detail appears. And I recall not being able to remember the medium of media I was thinking of, say a film, book, podcast I could not remember the difference, this lose of visualisation happened around high-school when I got overwhelmed and overstressed its also the time where I suddenly had some kind of memory loss like not remembering the past nor being able to think about the future, there was no sense of continuital being there. So yeah fun stuff.
I use to daydream eyes open and imagine very vividly with eyes closed but now at 47 it is difficult to do it now.
I can only taste an apple lol oh wait I hear it to and feel the crunch just no visuals wait no is that a vague 3rd person hand mashed with a 1st person perspective. Hang on. Am I cured? Jk jk
