Brief Summary:
The present study aims to characterize and modulate motor imagery abilities in individuals with aphantasia The investigators will characterize the neurophysiological and physiological underpinnings of mental imagery abilities in participants with aphantasia by investigating several indices of motor imagery abilities and comparing them to participants with typical mental imagery abilities The investigators will investigate whether non-invasive brain stimulation applied to the primary motor cortex improves mental imagery abilities in participants with aphantasia
Detailed Description:
The investigators will recruit 20 participants with aphantasia and 20 participants with typical mental imagery capacities no-aphantasia groups Participants in both groups will complete a 3-hour visit for inclusion and baseline measurements Visit 1 which will include neurophysiological autonomic nervous system cognitive and behavioral measures
Participants in the aphantasia group will complete 2 additional visits to receive active and sham tDCS sessions Visit 2 and 3 according to a randomized double-blind sham-controlled crossover design Mental training will be done concurrently with tDCS using a sequential finger tapping-task Truong et al 2022 Participants will receive the instructions of trying to imagine themselves performing the motor task by feeling their fingers moving as if they were actually moving it kinesthetic modality of motor imagery
Visits will be separated by at least 7 days
