Yesterday I found out that something I had described to a few people now has a name: aphantasia (http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34039054). Basically I cant visualize anything graphically when I close my eyes (or with open eyes). Take a beach for example, if I tell you to image a carribean beach, you'll probably see a picture pop up in your head with white sand beaches, turquoise water, some palm trees, big bootied ladies chilling under the scorching sun, you get the idea. I dont. I know what it looks like, but I dont see it in my head. I see the idea of the beach. I can't really explain it better, read the article. e: here have a cat pic

I don't have your brain sickness but no, I don't see a picture pop up and I doubt anyone else does either. That's not how it works. e: Having read that article a bit I'm not even sure aphantasia exists. It's more likely just a question of semantics. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Nov 4, 2016 |

Uh, all of the people I've talked about this can picture stuff in their head. All I see if I close my eyes is darkness, and nothing ever materializes as an image. My gf is the exact opposite, if I tell her to picture a beach she is practically there. They are just beggining to study this so who knows, maybe this is due to some head injury from when I was little. I've lived like this all my life so its not really a game changer, just nice that they gave it a name. El Laucha fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 4, 2016 |

My gf is the exact opposite, if I tell her to picture a beach she is practically there. The problem here is there's absolutely no way to research this or in any way understand what is actually happening in someone else's mind when they say they "see" something in their mind because all you're getting is tainted by language. I would never describe visual (again, for lack of a better word) aspects of what I can imagine as "pictures" but I would also never describe them as "not pictures". But I readily recognize that someone else might even if they are having exactly the same experience as I am.

Actually there is, with brain scans. Here is another article http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/23/science/aphantasia-minds-eye-blind.html?_r=0 It talks about a 65 year old dude who went for a heart surgery and after it he lost the ability to see stuff in his head. They scanned his brain and confirmed it. quote:In 2005, a 65-year-old retired building inspector paid a visit to the neurologist Adam Zeman at the University of Exeter Medical School. After a minor surgical procedure, the man — whom Dr. Zeman and his colleagues refer to as MX — suddenly realized he could no longer conjure images in his mind.

Jerry Cotton posted:You're really, really late with this one. But I'm sure there's room in the ultra-luxury ruler market as long as you're Japanese or German or make up a Japanesey or Germane brand name. Possibly Swiss will do it. Swedish is a niche because most stationary hipsters don't know what a Sweden is. Sagebrush posted:digital ruler for ipads No, these are all terrible. I'm talking ULTRA luxury. I'm thinking like make it out of titanium, give it some holes or poo poo for weight reduction and it doesnt' have any markings like a das keyboard or fretless bass.

jaco pastorius also used to eat a bucket of fried chicken and not wash his hands, so his fingers would slide over the bass strings

anthonypants posted:the best way i can describe this is that i very rarely have dreams, but when i do it feels like i dream in emotions and memories, but not in images. it's also really hard for me to reconstruct the faces of people just from memory, even when they're family members and i should be extremely familiar with their faces, but that isn't to say i have a problem recognizing familiar faces. Oh OK maybe you do have brain problems vOv When you say "reconstruct" what exactly do you mean?

one example i saw once is to close your eyes, imagine a stop sign, and count the edges. some people can't do that even though they know what a stop sign looks like because they can't 'see' it

I have a similar problem with faces. I've been living with my gf for like 3 years now, and I see her everyday and I know what her face looks like. But if I close my eyes and try to imagine her I see nothing, but I know what she looks like. Type of hair, nose, eye color, face roundness, etc. I can describe her, but I cant see her in my head. What I find interesting is that if I take a good dose of lsd/shrooms I get full blown closed/open eye visuals and I can see whatever the hell I want in my mind, full technicolor.
