Carla Dance serves as a Visiting Research Fellow within the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex, specializing in mental imagery disorders. She completed her PhD at the University of Sussex in 2023 with a dissertation investigating congenital aphantasia through clinical, neuropsychological, and forensic lenses.
Her research centers on aphantasia (imagery absence) and hyperphantasia (extreme imagery vividness), exploring their prevalence, neural correlates, and relationships with synaesthesia, autism spectrum conditions, and sensory processing. She employs behavioral experiments, psychometric assessments, and neuroimaging to map cognitive mechanisms underlying imagery differences across populations.
Analysis of her publications reveals consistent focus on defining aphantasia's boundaries through population studies, neural signature identification, and cross-condition comparisons with synaesthesia and autism. Her work establishes methodological frameworks for measuring imagery vividness extremes and their real-world cognitive implications.
