In this paper I will conduct a thorough examination and organization of available research on aphantasia. I will examine two theories of the known types of aphantasia, as well as the neurological correlates associated with a range of mental imagery ability, and the functional and behavioral correlates of aphantasia and low imaging ability. I will then consider published accounts of the effects of hallucinogenic drugs on the visualization abilities of people with aphantasia and review popular strategies for coping with and treating aphantasia. I will end by discussing related disorders and other extreme mental imaging phenomena, providing my own opinion on existing research, and suggesting possible future research about aphantasia.
