Aphantasia is a condition characterized by the inability to visualize or imagine sensory experiences, including hearing oneself speak. Researchers have identified a specific type of aphantasia that affects the ability to imagine hearing, known as anendophasia. Studies have shown that people with anendophasia have difficulty performing tasks that involve imagining sounds, such as judging the rhyme of words or recalling spoken words. However, they are able to perform these tasks when they can speak the words aloud. This suggests that anendophasia is not a general impairment of auditory processing but rather a specific difficulty with imagining hearing oneself speak. The study of aphantasia, including its subtypes such as anendophasia, is important for understanding the diversity of human experiences and the neural processes involved in conscious experience.
