Hi Kes and Arthur Thanks for commenting on my article. I find the individual differences fascinating. I trained in NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) and most of the techniques assume a 'mind's eye' so it's really interesting to discover more about the extent to which we all vary in our ability to picture/hear/feel/taste something that is not actually there. The point Arthur makes about 'insensitivity' is also an interesting one. Sometimes a description can force me to think about something (in words) that I'd rather not, but I don't/can't picture it so I guess my reaction would always be more muted than someone who experiences it in the round. Thanks for your thoughts. Best wishes, Julia
