Aphantasics showed no increase in motor system excitability during motor imagery or action observation tasks. This suggests aphantasia involves a physiological impairment in motor simulation rather than just a deficit in metacognition.
Dupont and colleagues · Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
Aphantasics showed no increase in motor cortex excitability while reading action sentences, unlike those with typical imagery. This suggests that mental imagery is a necessary component for the motor simulation of language.
