I came across a unique approach to improving visualization skills–through playing video games. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, playing video games can actually help people with aphantasia to develop their imagery abilities.
The theory behind this is that video games require players to use their imagination to think about different situations and scenarios in the game. This constant exercise of the brain can help to strengthen the visualization muscles, leading to improved imagery abilities not just in the game, but in real life situations as well.
Of course, this is not a foolproof cure and not everyone with aphantasia will find success through this method. But it’s worth a shot for those who are looking to build their visualization skills.
Who knew that playing video games could have such a positive impact on our brain’s abilities? It just goes to show that there are always unconventional methods to explore when it comes to understanding and treating aphantasia.
