Steven, Thank you for this very interesting article. I'm revisiting it again and discussing it with my Aphant friends (all in STEM).  For me its: Vision=0, Sound =0, Smell = 0, Taste = 0, Pain = 6, Proprioception = 10, Motor simulation = 10, Emotion = 2.  Does this mean you can watch embarrassing videos, romantic scenes or violence and not feel or perceive anything from them?I seem to have a much higher sensitivity to stories about painful accidents than average. I remember passing out at school when the Physical Education teacher was trying to entertain the class with gruesome tales of broken femurs. I feel that perhaps my motor simulation or proprioception imagination is very high. I ended up switching classes and getting the top grade in the world for that subject.
