I'm trying to use neurofeedback to become one of the people who can actually create images in their minds which they see vividly. My neurofeedback provider is promoting the dominant frequency in my visual cortex. She has done it four times so far. I think I can sort of almost see mental images, but I'm not sure.
One of the unexpected side effects I had trying marijuana for the first time was significantly more vivid mental imagery. Probably not particularly useful to you, but I just thought I'd mention it.
A past neurofeedback provider told me that I would like marijuana because it promotes alpha waves and I have fewer alpha waves than most people do. I've never tried the drug.
One thing that could be helpful here is some external test of the vividness of your mental imagery. Is, for example, drawing a scene from memory known to be such a test? (I guess you'd have to get good at drawing first, but that might help with the imagery stuff too.)
Great idea about an external test. But I'm very, very bad at drawing things that look like real things.
Have you read this blog post and/or the book to which it refers?
No. Thanks for the link.
