how is the brain able to give us images when we are imagining something?
In: Biology
I’m not sure exactly how it happens but I can add to the conversation by mentioning that imagination comes in a spectrum. Each person has a different level of “Theater of the Mind”. Some people can perfectly imagine themselves in a field for example, while others close their eyes and only see darkness or random colors. This is called aphantasia, or lack of fantasy, I’m actually at a 0-1 out of 10 in my imagination while most of my friends are 8 or 9. Since I learned about that a year ago its been fun paying attention to what my mind sees in different activities or environments.
