Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Synethesia, Visualization, and Inner Subtitles with Aaron Adair
Q: Can you hold your mental images for as long as you want or are they fleeting?
They're mostly fleeting; complex images are more fleeting, but I can hold simple images for a bit longer.
Synethesia, Visualization, and Inner Subtitles with Aaron Adair
Q: Are you familiar with the term the mind's eye?
Yes, vaguely, and it refers to the ability to imagine or visualize something in one's mind.
Aphantasia, Meditation, and Discovery with Andrea Thorfinson
Q: Does having Aphantasia affect your mental health at all?
While I struggled with depression and anxiety, I don't attribute it to Aphantasia directly. Finding meditation techniques that work for me has positively impacted my mental health.
Aphantasia, Meditation, and Discovery with Andrea Thorfinson
Q: How did discovering Aphantasia impact your creativity and self-understanding?
Initially, I struggled with storytelling since I couldn't visualize. But once I learned about Aphantasia, it helped me understand my creativity better and approach writing in a new way.
Discovering the Mind of Edward Jones
Q: If you could wave a magic wand and get rid of your Aphantasia, would you do it?
No, why would I do that? That would be re-scripting my entire life.
