Gaze patterns in aphantasia 

What is this project about?

How strongly do you visualise? Can you visualise at all? Aphantasia is an individual difference in the ability to produce mental imagery, most often characterised by the inability to visualise mentally. This project seeks to learn more about mental imagery  and learn more about eye movements in both those can and cannot mentally imagine.

We are looking for people with typical imagery and aphantasia to take part in this research!

What will you be asked to do? 

We invite you to come to the Division of Psychology at the University of Stirling, where you will complete tasks using eye tracking. We will also ask you to complete some questionnaires. You will be compensated £25 as a voucher for your time.

If you decide to sign up you will be asked to complete two parts in this experiment:

What will you have to do?

• A test established to objectively determine visual imagery ability. 

• A test desined to analyse gaze patterns during a task 

• A series of questionnaires,  assessing different aspects of mental imagery, ranging from questions on the vividness of your visual imagery to your use of imagery in day-to-day life.
