Reply to comment by SkyKnight34 in do we know how chameleons "see" Things with two independent eyes? Is it integrated? Side by side? by VivendusMoriendumEst

I'm in an extra different situation in a way. I'm aphantasic (can't imagine/picture/recall visual stuff, nor taste, smell, touch, or otherwise, though my faculty with audio is extraordinary and from what I can tell far beyond typical (I'd trade some for vision tho...)

It's so fascinating how our brains have such a variety of abilities, isn't it? It makes me wonder how it affects the way we function in general. Like I know that the way I think and conceptualize things is strongly informed by visualizations. And I'm sure that visualization lends itself more toward certain concepts than others, by its nature. It seems like you probably do the same thing with audio, and I'm sure that that lends itself more naturally toward a slightly (or maybe significantly) different set of representations and ideas. It's just so interesting to consider how we're both looking at the same world through these two different lenses, and probably notice very different things about the world because of it.
