This post on visual snow had me realizing that there was a nameto the blood-colored static i tried to explain to a friend a while back while comparing how accurately we could hold an image in our heads. Up until a couple of years ago, i had thought that mental imagery was roughly the same for everyone other than those with eidetic memory, and was baffled to learn that some people could barely hold images in their mind at all (some of those people are still able to draw for a living???) At the time i had created some visuals to attempt to explain how my thoughts ‘looked,’ and since i still think they’re interesting i figured i’d post them.
Is it different for you? What is yours like? Feel free to tell me or make your own, i find this deeply fascinating.
