The Mind's Eye

Ellen Rixford Studio
How well can you imagine things ~ and by "imagine," I mean really picture them in your head? As with so many abilities and characteristics, it now seems we all have varying levels of this competency. At the lowest end, the total inability to form mental pictures, is aphantasia, and at the opposite end is hyperphantasia. A brief questionnaire will give you a feel for where you sit on this spectrum ~ and just taking it is rather eye-opening if you've never really thought about it before: http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34039054
