Brain
HI THERE
My name is Shane Williams but many know me as “Shane’s Brain”. I’m a speaker, podcaster, author, entrepreneur, and researcher trying to spread awareness about the wide range of visualization abilities that are out there in a fun and meaningful way. I’m married to my beautiful wife of nearly 30 years. We have three children (and their spouses), one adorable granddaughter, and a couple of granddogs. I guess you could say we are a fun bunch of weirdos!
MY STORY
In 1997 I stumbled upon an amazing fact; Other people can actually see images in their minds. I always thought “picture this”, “visualize that”, or “imagine it” were metaphors and figures of speech. This discovery started me on a 25+ year journey of research and discussion surrounding the mind's eye. In the last several years, I have been writing books, hosting podcasts, and speaking publicly about what is now known as aphantasia, hyperphantasia, and everything in between.
OTHER STUFF
I am a professional graphic designer / business owner of 20+ years, and an award-winning author and poet.
I have also dabbled in stand-up comedy. I enjoy trying new things and sharing the contents of my brain with the world.

testimonials
“As an educator, learning about aphantasia from Shane has reshaped my teaching by prioritizing multiple representations, clear language, and hands-on strategies, helping me connect with diverse thinkers and support every learner’s understanding more effectively. Neurodiversity is not about what is ‘bad’ or ‘good’, it’s about appreciating every person as they are, and understanding aphantasia has helped me see the good in every person.”
Isaac Mathews – Educator
“The human collective inherently understands that all things have an opposite (Newton’s 3rd law), however, we also seem to think that everyone sees the world, has the same experiences as ourselves. Belonging to the hyperphantasia group, I found it mind blowing to find out that there is a group of people that don’t have an inner visual eye. A group that doesn’t form mental pictures while reading. This revelation has changed the way I understand communication. It’s a question I now ask in job interviews to help me better understand a candidate’s responses. I believe a similar understanding is universally beneficial for humanity.”
