Mind Processing Area for no images
2 min readByJoseph Dana
OK - first day member:
I discovered Aphantasia maybe 5 years ago. My wife would talk about how she pictured this or that. I thought nothing about it for years but then began to really question her about her pictures and movies ..... it took a while but then I decided to Google the situation and behold!!
So, this may be discussed some where on the website, if so please point me to the discussion, but I would like to know if anyone else has a mind processing area like I have (MPA for short). It might be best for me to state I can rarely conjure up any pictures, even when dreaming. If I need to think about an image or process i do it in my MPA. Now I don't overtly do this for everything, or most thing. Example, I can add numbers in the MPA by thinking about them, say I want to add 64 and 55. I can put them in the MPA and think about then in a column and add them. I could also put my car in the MPA and think my way around the car. For example, yes I know where my license plates are and can "picture" that but if I do it through my MPA, it opens a thinking process that open a "view" of the whole car. For example when I use The MPA to "picture" the rear license plate, I think about the whole back of the car. Also I don't "picture" or "view" like none aphantsica's do. So, what word replace 'picture" and "view". Also, again point me to any discussion on this subject, thanks. Joe
