The shown link between visual imagination and activity in the prefrontal cortex could be a good path to a cure.

The study mentioned suggests to me that aphantasia is linked to poor observational skills and memory. Memory and aphantasia seems kind of like a chicken and egg question, does bad visual memory cause aphantasia or does aphantasia cause bad visual memory? The only thing that makes me doubt the correlation with observation is that most people can visualize and yet most people are also terrible at observing their environment.

This is an interesting anecdote that argues for DMT as an aphantasia cure, but in the discussion section it does mention the unlikelihood of a single exposure to ayahuasca causing the changes in brain structure required to cure his aphantasia.

This article isn't related to aphantasia but all the visual hallucinations and improved imagination caused by the blindfolding makes me wonder what would happen if an aphantasiafag got blindfolded for a few weeks.
I've also read mentions of image streaming, some say it does jack shit for them and others say it works.
