Blind Mind's Eye

Available for over a year

What if you had no mind鈥檚 eye 鈥� no visual memory 鈥� and could not evoke images of your children鈥檚 faces, the house you live in, the meal you鈥檝e just eaten or the holiday you鈥檝e recently taken? The idea seems inconceivable, but that鈥檚 the reality for people with a condition known as Aphantasia. Sue Armstrong investigates the personal experience of people with Aphantasia. When did they become aware of it, how it has affected their lives and relationships with others 鈥� and what is being discovered about the science behind it? A Ruth Evans production for 麻豆社 Radio 4
