Behavioral and Neural Signatures of Visual Imagery Vividness Extremes: Aphantasia vs Hyperphantasia. [PDF]
, 2021 Although Galton recognized in the 1880s that some individuals lack visual imagery, this phenomenon was mostly neglected over the following century.

Phantasia – the psychological significance of lifelong visual imagery vivdness extremes [PDF]
, 2020 Visual imagery typically enables us to see absent items in the mind’s eye. It plays a role in memory, day-dreaming and creativity. Since coining the terms aphantasia and hyperphantasia to describe the absence and abundance of visual imagery, we have been

Intense Imagery Movements May Lead to Maladaptive Daydreaming: A Case Series and Literature Review. [PDF]
Mov Disord Clin PractAbstract Background This case series highlights the connection between childhood intense imagery movements (IIM) and adult‐reported maladaptive daydreaming (MD). Motor stereotypies occur in typically developing children and also with co‐occurring neurodevelopmental differences.

Emotion in the mind's eye: Imagination for adaptive cognition
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1526, Issue 1, Page 59-72, August 2023., 2023 In this review, we highlight the importance of imagination for emotional aspects of cognition and behavior, namely in the generation and regulation of emotions. Based on recent cognitive neuroscience work, we identify putative neural networks that are most critical for emotional imagination, with a major focus on the default mode network.

Pre-stimulus activities affect subsequent visual processing: Empirical evidence and potential neural mechanisms. [PDF]
Brain BehavAbstract Purpose Humans obtain most of their information from visual stimuli. The perception of these stimuli may be modulated by the ongoing pre‐stimulus brain activities. Depending on the task design, the processing of different cognitive functions such as spatial attention, feature‐based attention, temporal attention, arousal, and mental imagery may

Seeing Is Feeling: How Aphantasia Alters Emotional Engagement With Stories. [PDF]
PsychophysiologyABSTRACT Visual imagery is thought to act as an “emotional amplifier,” potentially contributing to narrative engagement. To examine this, we conducted two experiments in which participants were presented with emotionally charged audio and video story excerpts.
