Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Matthew Bockholt's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Matthew is the most hyperphantasia person that I have interviewed so far. His descriptions and insights are intriguing for sure. He is also an author and he discusses the very real relationships that he has with his characters. He describes his imagination as a separate universe that is just as realistic in every way as this one is... but even better because he ...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Michelle Jefferies' mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. We start out identifying Michelle as aphantasia but as we move along its definitely more along the lines of hypophantasia. It's interesting that Michelle developed this low visualization, at least in part, later in life, because of childhood trauma. Michelle has the other senses much stronger than most people with hypophantasia, probably because only the visual...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Alexander Vercoutre's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Join us as we try to determine exactly what is happening in Alex's mind. Does he have aphantasia or not? I'm not 100% sure but I am 100% sure that this is indeed a fascinating interview. The language and words we have are not adequate here but I do find it interesting that Alex tends to use the words "feel" and "feeling" a lot. I wish I could experience his m...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Alex Williams' mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. It's really fun to hear Alex's answers because although she scores very high in all of the senses in her mind, they seem to have mind of their own in many instances. It's also interesting that her memories are not as strong as some of her other experiences, like dreams and reading.Support the Show.Here is a link to the apple graph and the nature pic. https://www.sha...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Carl Demille's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Carl is an interesting case as his visualization seems to be a bit difficult to predict. He starts out with some very detailed descriptions and we begin to label him hyperphantasia... but then later on, his descriptions about what he visualizes when he reads is much more basic and vague with little detail. So.... what to make of it? I don't know. Regardless, it's a ...

Send us a Text Message.In this episode with special guests, Cole Williams, and Stacey Williams, we delve a little deeper into the world of Hyperphantasia by exploring some new questions that bring out some new interesting details we haven't discussed before.

If you have specifics to add that can help us create quest...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Stacey Williams' mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Stacey's mind is very versatile and can do most anything you ask it to... which is pretty cool.

We also argue several times about if pulling up your notes in your mind during a test is cheating.Support the Show.Here is a link to the apple graph ...
Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discover how Cole Williams's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Cole can visualize alright, but he is off the charts when it comes to the sense of touch and feeling in his mind. This goes hand in hand with how he experiences emotions at a heightened level in his mind as well. Cole has a history of mental health issues including depression and scrupulosity, but shares his inspiring stories of how he has discovered how to win tho...
