    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 can do whatever he wants there.

  • Discovering The Mind of C Michelle Jefferies
    May 21 2024

    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 aspect was affected by the trauma. Michelle is an author and it's really cool to hear her describe how her characters have minds of their own.

    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 mind for a day to see what he means by that. Enjoy!

    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.

  • Discovering the Mind of Carl Demille

    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 great interview and further solidifies the fact that everyone is unique!

    In this episode we discover how Shane Miner's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Shane is our second guest with aphantasia. The differences are on full display again as we identify how technical and left brained Shane's mind is and we also find out if Shane would wish away his aphantasia if he had the chance. And guess what else? Shane doesn't have dreams.

  • Hyperphantasia and Beyond

    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. Hyperphantasia is just as fascinating and under explored as Aphantasia is, so we continue to seek for as much detail and variations of experience as we can possibly discover.

    If you have specifics to add that can help us create questions that will better bring out the experiences and abilities of those with hyperphantasia, please email us at shanesbraindesigns@gmail.com

    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 discuss what a brain fart is and how her visualization is always "on" and a couple tricks she uses to deal with that. We also argue several times about if pulling up your notes in your mind during a test is cheating.
