Aphantasia, a term coined by Adam Zeman, a neurologist and professor of cognitive and behavioural neurology at Exeter University Medical School, describes people who are unable to visualise. It affects some 2 to 3 per cent of the population, or around 2million people in the UK. (Daily Mail)

A maioria das pessoas consegue fechar os olhos e formar imagens dentro da cabeça - como ao contar carneirinhos ou pensar no rosto de um ente querido. Mas Ed Catmull, de 74 anos, tem uma condição chamada afantasia, na qual as pessoas não conseguem visualizar de forma alguma imagens mentais. E, em uma pesquisa surpreendente com seus ex-funcionários, descobriu que alguns dos melhores animadores do mundo também apresentam esta condição. (BBC)
