Pretty interesting!

I'm in the hyperphantasia range personally, so talking to people that don't see anything in their head is always fascinating. It's cool that there's research into how it all works

They mixed up aphantasia and hyperphantasia once talking about the beach scene. Just FYI so you don’t have to reread the paragraph four times like me.
