Remerciements
Nous tenons à remercier particulièrement M. Florian Laronze pour nous avoir encadrées lors de notre travail, nous avoir donné des indications et des conseils sur la démarche à suivre et avoir relu notre rapport. Son soutien et ses encouragements nous ont permis de mener à bien notre projet.
Nous remercions également C.J. Dance, Bianca Wittman et Alexei Dawes pour nous avoir envoyé leurs articles sur l’aphantasie ainsi que de nombreuses ressources sur le sujet pour nous aider dans la construction de notre revue de littérature.
Finalement, nous remercions les personnes qui ont accepté de donner de leur temps pour participer à notre expérience.
