Research income targets for Liverpool’s new academics ‘unfair’

Growing pressure on probationary staff to win grants represents ‘material divergence’ from agreed policies, argue UCU leaders

Eyes-closed resting state differences between a hyperphantasic (left) and a typical imager (right), harkening to historic findings. Is hyperphantasia characterized by persistent low alpha power? #hyperphantasia

Context: these were the 1st 2 subjects I analysed based on their PSI-Q visual score (hyper=10, typical=6.6). Resting state preceded ganzflicker. The hyperphantasic also saw complex ganzflicker hallucinations. Neither was aware of hyper/a/phantasia ahead of the experiment.

My current stance is that mental imagery is an unnecessary (but fun, bonus) epi-phenomenon of our complex ability to plan/remember/strategize. What do you think? #aphantasia #hyperphantasia

Stop using the word “summer” when inviting British researchers to events—it’s like an insult to remind us that other countries have summer.

Wow, one more right on the tails of @GiuliaCabbai's study!: Decoding sound content in the early visual cortex of aphantasic participants: Current Biology cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Decoding sound content in the early visual cortex of aphantasic participants

Natural sounds can be decoded from the early visual cortex of blindfolded and congenitally blind participants. Montabes de la Cruz et al. replicate the paradigm with aphantasic participants and...

Final takehome message: By including an understanding of aphantasia in the discussion surrounding mental healthcare, it is our hope that these insights will support positive mental healthcare outcomes for everyone. #aphantasia #MentalHealthAwareness 12/13
Altogether, this research reveals that aphantasics experience similar levels of mental health distress to imagers, but symptomatic experiences and response to treatment techniques are fundamentally different. The application of this knowledge into practice may support more personalized pathways into mental healthcare. Key to this is the therapeutic relationship; a relationship built on mutual trust, respect, and professional curiosity, can transform the sometimes painful quest for identity into a positive mental health journey toward self-acceptance and compassion, for aphants and imagers alike. By including an understanding of aphantasia in these discussions, it is our hope that these insights will support positive mental healthcare outcomes for everyone.
