The Centre for the Study of Perceptual Experience (CSPE) has now been in existence for twenty years! We are going to hold a celebratory 20th Anniversary Conference on 4 – 6th June 2025 in Glasgow. We would love for you to join us.

Contra Michel et al.s' recent (2024) Letter in TICS (@matthiasmichel.bsky.social @jorge-morales.bsky.social), I argue that the episodic memory findings in aphantasia are genuine and defend the episodic memory account of aphantasia. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My new article on the contributions of the hippocampus to mental imagery formation is now out in Vision! www.mdpi.com/2411-5150/9/...

Exciting hypothesis which potentially competes with my own 2022 hypothesis that aphantasia is the result of deficient memory processes. Are these compatible? Potentially: aphantasia could be comprised of a heterogeneous group where we should seek different explanations for different sub-groups.

Looking for volunteers with and without #aphantasia for a study on memory and imagination at the University of Glasgow! More info 👇
