Eh, I’m not so sure about what they believe the pupillary response was a proxy for.
Your eyes dilate when you concentrate.
Stare at your eyes in the mirror and start doing simple arithmetic in your head. Adding numbers, multiplication of multi digit numbers. Your eyes will dilate noticeably.
- lalopalota 4y agoCool. Just like they mentioned in the article!
- Twisol 4y agoThis is discussed in the article, where they used this fact to affirm that aphantastic individuals are indeed attempting to visualize (and failing), vs. simply not attempting. Moreover, they explain that in those who can visualize, pupils both dilated and contracted appropriate to the visualization.
- FPGAhacker 4y agoOh, thanks. I guess I judged too quickly.
- yes_man 4y agoAnecdotally I just tried recording a video of my eyes and started doing calculations in my head, but no dilation in my eyes when watching the recording. Could be my concentration just sucks.
- FPGAhacker 4y agoOr it the calculations were easy for you.
