Pleased to see this @newyorker.com piece featuring our work on imagery and autobiographical memory. @baycrest.bsky.social @baycrestfoundation.bsky.social @uoftpsychology.bsky.social
Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it?
Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound
Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

Thrilled to see this award to the outstanding Dr. Ryan Yeung for his work on subjectivity and the brain!
We're excited to welcome Ryan Yeung as a Cohort 3 #SchmidtAIinSci Fellow!
Ryan works with Professors Brian Levine and Bradley Buchsbaum.
His project uses deep neural networks to objectively decode subjective experiences in the brain.🧠
