Reading, reminiscing, planning, daydreaming - none of these activities is possible without the imagination. But how do our imaginations work? And how do our experiences differ? Join pioneering neuroscientist Adam Zeman (The Shape of Things Unseen) and lead researcher for Durham University's ReaderBank, Ben Alderson-Day, as they unpack the latest scientific discoveries relating to the brain's creative powers, from the phenomenon of 'aphantasia' to what happens in our minds as we imagine. Chaired by Dina Nayeri.
