Eli5 – How does the “inner eye” work?

1.31K views

I have aphantasia, a mental disorder where I lack all internal visualization. I cannot “picture” things in my mind, I think in words and numbers and such. With this, I am very curious how the mental imagery works for the rest of you. Do you see it separate from your main vision? Does it get interposed? Is it like picture in picture? I’m baffled!

TIA.

Can you imagine what music sounds like? Can you bring to mind the voice of a friend?

It’s that but with pictures.
