So @mmonzel.bsky.social read my bsky thread and proposed we extend these ideas into a theory paper - and thus, this preprint was born! A unifying theory of aphantasia: Aphantasia as the inability to disengage from the external environment osf.io/preprints/ps...

With this new pub arguing that aphantasia is NOT an episodic memory condition, I agree that aphantasia must be defined, first and foremost, by a lack of imagery. However, aphantasia reduces the vividness of episodic memories in predictable ways. Here's another idea... 1/8 rdcu.be/eYxns

A short highlight of the beautiful recent work by @varunswadia.bsky.social, Doris Tsao et al., providing single-neuron evidence of the overlap between imagery and perception! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

*CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - MIABRIDGE workshop* We are now accepting abstract submissions for poster presentations, and you can submit your abstract here: sites.google.com/view/miabrid... Deadline for abstract submission: 31/05/2026 (23:59, CEST) Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of you in Paris!

happy to see this out in the wild! we analyzed (many) verbal reports, and found that people can “see” all kinds of things in Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations, from dots and lines to skylines, forests, and faces. But not everyone. Weak imagers mostly described flashes and movement

Paper now published in Neuroscience of Consciousness and led by @chkhaidze.bsky.social: From dots to faces: individual differences in visual imagery capacity predict the content of Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

new paper in TICS officially out today. great learning from and writing with Anastasia, and super cool cover art from Prof. Pinar Yoldas. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Sensory reformatting for a working visual memory

A core function of visual working memory (WM) is to sustain mental representations of recent visual inputs, thereby bridging moments of experience. This is thought to occur in part by recruiting early...

And come to my talk on Tuesday @3pm in the Individual Differences session, where I will present the first largescale (N~3,000) empirical evidence for my model of divergent predictive perception! #ECVP2025

Our new preprint explores what people with different visual imagery abilities 'see' during Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations. We used NLP + ML techniques to analyze descriptions from 4,000+ participants. See what we found in @kerblooee.bsky.social's thread

Dr Reshanne Reeder@kerblooee.bsky.social · last yr.

Thousands of people have provided written accounts of their Ganzflicker hallucinations, so @chkhaidze.bsky.social used NLP and machine learning techniques to explore the different content described by individuals across the imagery spectrum - what did she find? ... 1/5 arxiv.org/abs/2507.09011
