"Understanding the Dichotomy of Visualization in Two Brains"

A rare brain condition called aphantasia prevents individuals from visualizing memories, while hyperphantasia allows for vivid recall. Aphantasia can be associated with memory impairment, autism, and face blindness, and is more common in science, mathematics, and IT fields.

Both conditions can have pros and cons, and individuals with these unique brains hope to raise awareness to help others, especially children, who may feel alienated due to their differences in processing sensory information.
