Dr Russell Hurlburt is a psychologist, researcher, and one of the leading experts in the study of inner experience.

We all assume we know what’s happening inside our own minds. But what if the way you describe your inner thoughts—your inner monologue, mental images, emotions—isn’t accurate? What if you’ve spent your entire life mischaracterizing your own experience? Russell’s research suggests that most people don’t truly understand how their minds work.

Expect to learn why you might not actually have an inner monologue, the five core phenomena of inner experience, why most psychological self-reports are unreliable, the surprising differences in how people experience thought, how experience sampling can reveal the hidden structure of your mind, whether meditation really increases self-awareness, and the astonishing story of a woman whose perception of reality was forever altered by this method.

This episode will make you question everything you thought you knew about your own mind.

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!

Hello @ndr@lemmy.world , is this community also covering Anauralia or only 'visual aphantasia' ?

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 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

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

I'm not involved in art at all however you seems to not be alone at all; take a look at :
