Why don't we hallucinate our mental images? With Alexander Sulfaro

Have you ever wondered why mental images aren't as vivid as real images? And what's the difference between imagining something and hallucinating it? Research has found that the brain uses similar processes for imagination and perception, which can sometimes compete. In this video, researcher Alexander Sulfaro presents an interesting model for the aphantasia and hyperphantasia spectrum as a competition between visual perception and mental imagery.

His research explores the mechanisms behind internally-generated sensory experiences like mental images, hallucinations, and dreams. Currently, Alex is researching whether images and sounds are imagined differently, whether the content of mental imagery can be decoded from brain recordings, why mental images don’t look like real images, and whether we can even measure differences in mental imagery at all.
