Understanding why people born blind never develop schizophrenia could transform how we think about and treat one of medicine’s most baffling conditions.
I find myself defaulting back to playing the last catchy song I heard if I choose to hum or whistle or just decide to play something in my head. I’d say it’s like leaving a cassette in the player, I can switch it out if I think about it, but if I just play “something” there will be a default tape in the player.
Hmm that’s really interesting. In a way, your mind can create images then because otherwise you wouldn’t see them. You just cannot consciously produce an image?
I wouldn’t think letters, sounds, or words. I’d just get ideas that I can use my internal voice to consider if I wanted to think about it in words.
I believe I have visual dreams when I have them which isn’t often. They feel extremely real when I have them. I feel like I know the details without feeling like I made a list of details to remember, it’s like I remember from seeing it.

Like you get words popping up in your head when you look at a visual stimulus and you can’t tell if the word are actually written there?
