Neesa Suncheuri Sunar has released her first survey, which seeks to learn about the musical experiences of musicians who have anauralia (auditory aphantasia) and/or other forms of aphantasia more broadly. Musicians are invited to take the survey here: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/salford/survey-of-auditory-aphantasia-in-musicians
