is the strange condition where some people are unable to visualize images in their mind. For a long time, aphantasia could only be identified thanks to people's self-reported experiences. Now, we may finally have a way to detect it in a different way.In this case, the eyes have it. More specifically, in a new study aphantasia could be detected based on pupil dilation response.
But then the researchers asked both groups to imagine the same images with their eyes open. Curiously, they found that the pupils of individuals with regular visual imagination would still contract and expand, while the pupils of individuals with aphantasia didn't change size to a significant level. However, perhaps the most interesting question posed by the study is how mental imagery could be driving involuntary pupil response to begin with.
