This article discusses the significance of a recent study by Kwaśniak et al. ( Sci Rep 15: 36337, 2025). This study assessed neural activation during the generation of motor imagery in aphantasics and control participants. The results of this study are placed in the context of the broader aphantasia literature and the importance of these results within the field of cognitive and motor neuroscience is emphasized.
