Aphantasia Might Be Linked to Alterations in Brain Connectivity | Paris Brain Institute

Thanks to 7T fMRI, researchers from Paris Brain Institute and NeuroSpin, the CEA's neuroimaging centre, are exploring the neural substrate of visual imagery at very high resolution for the first time. Their results, publiés[i] in Cortex, pave the way for a better understanding of this fascinating cognitive ability, which some of us entirely lack.

Their results, publiés [i] in Cortex , pave the way for a better understanding of this fascinating cognitive ability, which some of us entirely lack. Visual imagery—the ability to mentally summon the image of a landscape, a person, or an object that is not directly observable—varies greatly in inten
