  • Discovering the Mind of Lindsay Rice
    Sep 23 2025

    In this episode we discover how Lindsay Rice's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Lindsay is a 3rd grade teacher / presenter with ADHD, autism, and aphantasia. We agree that this is kind of a weird subject to try and talk about and it's difficult to get anywhere concrete with trying to understand someone else's internal mind experience. She has a mind's ear but only hears her own voice in her head. She experiences what she calls "webbed thinking", reads out loud to retain the information better, and, other than one specific nightmare, her dreams are like audio books.

  • Discovering the Mind of Isaac Mathews
    Sep 16 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode we discover how Isaac Mathew's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Isaac is a musician who can visualize and hear in his mind. It's interesting to hear how much of his song writing is coming from his mind and how much is coming from his physical hands on a physical guitar. Effort plays a big role in how well he can visualize and hold the images, when he reads, he hears the narration in a soft, clear woman's voice, and his answer to the question about what he would do if he woke up with aphantasia is pretty powerful.

  • Aphantasia, Art, and Discovery with Dawn Rossbach
    Sep 9 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode I talk with Dawn Rossbach who is a very talented artist who has aphantasia and SDAM. We note that some folks assume that people with aphantasia cannot be artists. We discuss why this is not the case, and what Dawn's personal experiences with art are like. We talk about Dawn's recent grant project that revolves around art and aphantasia and how she is hoping that it brings more awareness about the condition. We also discover that she would make a terrible court witness, audio books help her retain the story better, and she's terrible at reciting the alphabet backwards.
