Not yet. I've been doing a lot of work on aphantasia, and become interested in SDAM through that. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it atm, hence why I want to work with a PhD student to learn more about it.

More specific topics I'm interested in supervising are aphantasia, severely deficient autobiographical memory, interoception, and alexithymia, but open to some related ideas you may have.

It may be prosopagnosia (i.e., trouble recognising faces) that causes this difference. I've met many prosos who say they don't know what family and friends look like. Our work, linked below, shows this condition is common in aphantasia. 2/2 #bb27 #aphantasia
