Understanding why people born blind never develop schizophrenia could transform how we think about and treat one of medicine’s most baffling conditions.
I can not smell things without actually smelling them. Same with taste.
I can imagine my hand rubbing on different grit sandpaper and know how they would feel differently but I don’t “feel” it.
I can play songs in my head with sounds that are like the actual sounds but it’s similar to humming or whistling in my head. It’s not like I hit play and just listen. I don’t get earworms.
…yeah, odor, taste, touch, and vision i recognise but i can’t just recall arbitrarily; more than once i’ve become separated from my wife out in public and realised that if someone were to ask me to describe her i’d have no idea how to do so…
I’m not sure.
