What it does
1–4% of people can't picture images in their mind, many don't know it. Aphantasia offers free, anonymous self-tests built on research methodology (visual, multisensory, memory, inner voice), instant results, a 3D journey through the mind's eye, and a community. In 5 languages.
Aphantasia means: no mental image when you close your eyes. Take the free VST-16 test in 5 minutes, read about symptoms, frequency (about 1–4 % of people) and current research. Scientifically grounded, no signup.
New: Experience the mind's eye – a 4-minute 3D journey Aphantasia: When the mind's eye is missing. No mental image when you close your eyes – 1–4% of people live with aphantasia. Aphantasia is the inability to voluntarily create mental images. When people with aphantasia are asked to imagine a red apple, they don't see visual images in their mind – instead, they experience darkness or think abstractly about the concept of "apple". These signs may indicate aphantasia – but only a test can give you certainty. Free, anonymous, following the methodology of established research questionnaires. How vivid is your mind's eye – from aphantasia to hyperphantasia? Also available: Hyperphantasia Test —…from aphantasie.org

Improve cognitive focus in 1 minute2024 · oneminutefocus.com · ▲741Staring at something for 30-90 seconds has been proven to improve & boost mental focus on subsequent tasks (from Andrew Huberman - https://youtu.be/CrtR12PBKb0?t=3367 ).

Eyesite – Experimental website combining computer vision and web design2025 · blog.andykhau.com · ▲138I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. This was just a fun little project I made. Currently, the website doesn't work on screens less than 1200x728 (Sorry mobile users!) It also might struggle on lower end devices. For best results, have a webcam pointing right at you. I tested my website with a MacBook camera. Any comments, questions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated! blog: https://blog.andykhau.com/blog/eyesite check it out: https://eyesite.andykhau.com/ github:…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
