An image produced by the following prompt: A bold and arresting acrylic painting of a single pyrrole red apple sitting on a deep chromium green book, decorated in a fine and delicate diagonal grid of gold.

The light is hitting the top left hand side of the apple which is casting a dark shadow onto the book. The book and apple are both against a flat dark background. The colors of the image have a medium saturation and the vibe or mood of the image is somewhat somber and contemplative. You can see the very fine woven texture of the canvas through the paint. The texture of the paint is thick and visible, there are small brushstrokes which catch the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/79535613-64df-41ef-8f0f-3588bfedba2b/Apple_2.jpeg Home - The Text-Conditioned Image - Make it stand out Figure 3.

The attention model of conscious imagery and aphantasia - Make it stand out Figure 1. Mental imagery: from idea to experience. The attention model proposes that mental imagery unfolds through distinct neural stages, transforming abstract concepts into a conscious visual experience. Successful semantic retrieval (stage ii) enables access to conceptual knowledge about objects, while top-down sensory reactivation and integration in the visual cortex (stage iii) provide access to visual knowledge, allowing individuals to report detailed visual features even when these remain in a preconscious state. The subjective feeling of imagery emerges when top-down attention amplifies this integrated visual content and establishes long-range recurrent loops, enabling the information to enter frontoparietal networks and reach conscious awareness. Disruption in one or more of these stages may lead to forms of unconscious or impaired imagery, such as aphantasia. The bold red line in panels i and iii marks the threshold of conscious access.

Graphical representation of three dimensions along which mental simulations may vary. In the temporal dimension (horizontal axis), episodic counterfactual thinking (eCFT) contrasts with episodic future thinking (eFT) as it is a retrospective rather than prospective hypothetical simulation. In the episodic-semantic dimension (vertical axis), eCFT contrasts with both semantic memory (sM) and semantic counterfactual thinking (sCFT) in that it involves simulations of concrete spatiotemporal episodes that could have occurred. Finally, as indicated by the graded tones, eCFT also contrasts with autobiographical episodic memory (eM) in that it depicts non-actual events with varying degrees of possibility. However, whether or not the modal dimension applies uniformly to both past and future episodic and semantic simulations remains an open question. https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2020/1/9/five-top-fives-5-things-we-couldnt-imagine-a-decade-ago monthly 0.5 2020-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1578610109937-ZESBXY7GY8YT7RY2CJPO/topfive_1d.jpg Home - Five Top Fives: Five things we couldn’t imagine a decade ago Image Credit: Allison Gould https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2020/1/9/five-top-fives-aaron-meskins-top-five-imagination-list-plus-a-bonus monthly 0.5 2020-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1578609460139-FS3769K86J55BMXS4OQ7/topfive_1d.jpg Home - Five Top Fives: Aaron Meskin’s Top Five Imagination List (plus a bonus) Image Credit: Allison Gould https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2020/1/9/five-top-fives-imaginative-edible-concoctions-of-the-decade monthly 0.5 2020-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1578608908891-22UVKYLKNSM9D6MUHKH6/topfive_1d.jpg Home - Five Top Fives: Imaginative Edible Concoctions of the Decade Image Credit: Allison Gould https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2020/1/9/five-top-fives-quotes-and-songs monthly 0.5 2020-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1578608225458-NARO807U9YDHKPXLPIRB/topfive_1d.jpg Home - Five Top Fives: Quotes and Songs Image Credit: Allison Gould https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2020/1/9/five-top-fives-the-idecade-approximately-five-papers-capturing-the-zeitgeist-within-a-certain-area-of-imagination-studies-2010-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1578606006930-OGHNHT70N9123FC63WOS/topfive_1d.jpg Home - Five Top Fives: Approximately Five Papers capturing the Zeitgeist within a certain area of imagination-studies: 2010-2019 Image Credit: Allison Gould https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2019/12/16/why-we-hate-spoilers monthly 0.5 2020-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1576508650521-OGABY8E4DMP4TSUVSMCK/Van+Leeuwen+headshot.jpg Home - Why We Hate Spoilers Neil is a guy who does philosophy and a few other things. https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2019/12/7/daydreaming-philosophy-and-the-logics-of-the-imagination monthly 0.5 2019-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a74dfaa5790a2c65be7caa/1575750698878-N1R36SY9GZ97PAIXWW48/felipe+morales+-+selfie+with+drawing+based+on+rossetti%27s+daydream.jpg Home - Daydreaming, philosophy and the logics of the imagination Felipe is a PhD student at KU Leuven, Belgium, working on the epistemology of modality.
