Today’s video is about people’s ability to visualize. Some people with a “mind’s eye” can easily picture images in their brain when they read. These people have hyperphantasia. However, some people lack the ability to clearly visualize images in their mind’s eye. They are known as people with aphantasia. Most people fall somewhere in between. This condition was first characterized by a psychologist in the 19th century. Aphantasia runs in families, meaning it is influenced by genes. Most people with aphantasia have it their entire life, but some develop it later due to brain injury. It is not considered a disease and does not require treatment.

“Writers use their mind’s eye to create vivid stories and settings.”
“Close your eyes and picture a beach in your mind’s eye.”

Plus, I need to spend time coding, so I also need to take care of myself. Why do I want to visit? Well, they’re obviously famous, and many people recommend them. Plus, who doesn’t like going to the beach, right?
Question 4: What do you usually do when you have free time?
Well, this is a good question, but I’ve been really busy with my studies, so I don’t have much free time recently. However, usually, I take a walk in the park or take dance classes.
