Why your mind works this way

Our course turns your VVIQ result into a profile of your own mind, the words to explain it to the people in your life, and the evidence to hand anyone who says you are not trying. The first two modules are free.

Start free
You're not alone

Talk to counselors, coaches, and educators who already understand aphantasia — so you don't have to start by explaining what it is.

Anthony Padilla Spends a Day with Aphantasics

Anthony Padilla is a prominent YouTuber who documents his time spent with people from unique walks of life for the purpose of better understanding their personal experiences. In this episode, Anthony Padilla spends a day with aphantasics. He sat down with artist Katherine Yaochen Du, illustrator AmyRightMeow, and Founder of the Aphantasia Network, Tom Ebeyer.
Padilla asks them questions about their discovery stories, how they think it influences their lives, what inspires them, and how their lives have changed since they learned about aphantasia. In a fun twist of the topic, Anthony reveals how rather than having a prominent mind's eye, his mind's touch or tactile imagination plays a much greater role in his creative process.

A Special Thanks From Aphantasia Network

Thank you to the other guests of this special episode. We appreciate you providing a glimpse into your creative process.
