Motor Aphantasia
Motor aphantasia is the inability to mentally simulate physical movements or actions, sometimes called 'movement-free imagination.' Like other forms of aphantasia, it can occur in isolation or as part of multisensory aphantasia affecting multiple types of mental imagery. Whether congenital or acquired, motor aphantasia impacts activities typically enhanced by movement imagination, such as sports, dance, or learning new physical skills. This variation provides insights into how the brain processes and learns movements without mental rehearsal. On this page, you'll find aphantasia research, personal stories, and community discussions about motor aphantasia.
