Study: Ability to voluntarily visualise and body image (forms.office.com)
 

Found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aphantasia/comments/1hxgcof/study_ability_to_voluntarily_visualise_and_body/

Coment of the original author:

I am a student at Dublin Business School and I am doing a Higher National Diploma in Psychology. For my research project/thesis I am investigating the link between the ability to voluntarily visualise and the impact on body image.

Studies in body image show that part of the problem can be how you view yourself and some of the treatments are visualisation based. So I am wondering if visualisers or us are more or less at risk. I am not hypothesising either way.

The survey contains the VVIQ (which we can help complete pretty quickly) and then some questions related to body image.

I need to get roughly 70 people in my aphantasia group so would really appreciate your time!

Aphantasia Q&A with Adam Zeman | Podcast (podcast.discoveringyourmind.com)

In this episode, we are very excited and fortunate to have a discussion with Adam Zeman. Adam tells us his story about how he was involved in coining the term "aphantasia" and how his research and articles got picked up by the media, resulting in the large interest in this phenomenon that we see today. He shares with us where he falls in all of this including all of his inner senses. We ask him about many things that we have been curious about as well as questions from a number of people from an aphantasia facebook group. These topics include, the VVIQ, early imagery research, aphantasia percentages, SDAM, pupil response, wakeful imagery vs dreaming, links to trauma, and unconscious imagery or "seeing without seeing". He also explains to us an interesting study surrounding "Blind Sight".

Does anyone here have aphantasia without SDAM? in c/aphantasia@lemmy.world
[–] BlueSerendipity8@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I would suggest that someone who does not lack multisensory mental imagery—what scientists refer to even for non-visual senses—may be able to vividly recollect past events from a first-person perspective (often described as a time travel flashback) using the senses that are not affected. Therefore, they may not be severely impacted or affected at all.

I would say that I do have SDAM, although I don't have an official diagnosis. In fact, I find the 'S' (Severe) label a bit overstated. The reason I identify with SDAM is that I have multisensory aphantasia, which means the only way I can access my past is through semantic memory. I am unable to re-experience past events from any sensory perspective, nor can I project myself into the future in that way.

I agree that there is some form of advertising (at least sponsoring) associated with the article, but on the other hand, the point the article is making remains valid and knowledgeable.

Cake v5.0.0 released in c/dotnet@programming.dev
[–] BlueSerendipity8@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Cake is an imperative and task-based way of expressing builds. In my opinion, it truly provides its benefits when you have a complex build pipeline. The added value is that any C# developer can understand and contribute to the build process without needing to master bash or PowerShell scripting languages or figure out how to use declarative DSLs like GitHub Actions, AppVeyor, or GitLab CI

Aphantasia and sleep in c/aphantasia@lemmy.world
[–] BlueSerendipity8@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hello,

I’m a 40y with full aphantasia, and I don’t have any issues falling asleep. I have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and use a CPAP, but I’ve never had any trouble falling asleep.

If ADHD is recognized as a disability it's also because it can significantly impact a person's quality of life, even if some individuals learn to manage their symptoms, if you had to manage your issue I understand it may not have been for free
