Loved both the episodes. Being someone with aphatasia as well it's so interesting to me to hear about how people experience their internal world. There were several moments where I was wondering the difference between imagining and remembering. Especially when you were getting into different senses like taste and feel. Really enjoyed the episodes and looking forward to the next ones
Thanks for the kind words! yeah definitely know what you mean about the difference between imagining and remembering. Presumably people have visual memories? I also have SDAM Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory meaning I don't remember life events in the 1st person. They are more like statement of facts.
I loved the first episode. It was fascinating to observe my imagination. I discovered that I only added details when you asked for them. When you asked, “ What kind of table?” I would generate that detail. Before that, it was more abstract. I guess I have a rather constructivist mind.
Really interesting, does it feel like the detail generated is 'resolved/made clear' or was it 'created'?
Each guest goes though the same imaginative exercises, i think as you hear more it gets *more* interesting as everyone is different from your own known baseline.

As both an Osborne and Springett fanboy, to say I've been looking forward to this one is an understatement!

Definitely ‘created’.
