And what am I expected to see?

Depending on your brain you will see different things! This experiment relates to visual cognition. If you see a dark orange circle your brain leans high-level vision and the dimmer the orange circle is (or if you don’t see one at all) the more you lean low-level vision.

I know I'm somewhere close to aphantasia, you didn't have to rub it in!
(Genuinely though, you might wanna consider providing some links like the VVIQ or a general definition of aphantsia before throwing around terms like "low-level vision" because otherwise you might unintentionally come across as a bit insulting) @bownage@beehaw.org see here :)

I can see the form but couldn't imagine it.

Thank you!

This is very interesting. I took the VVIQ and the result days hyperphantasia, which I think is a little exaggerated because I mostly answered 3 or 4/5 but still cool.
My friend in psychology has aphantasia, it's always interesting to talk to him about how he experiences memory.
