Aphantasia is a condition that involves an inability to generate voluntary visual images and it occurs in about 3-4% of the population. Previous research has shown that people with aphantasia have deficits in motor simulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the neural activity during kinesthetic motor imagery (KMI) and internal visual-motor imagery (IVMI). Gender, education, handedness and age were matched for the 15 subjects (8 aphantasics; 4 men) aged 19-46 years (M = 26,29; SD = 9,90) who participated in the study. All subjects completed the second Polish version of the Vividness
