Eli5 – How does the “inner eye” work?

1.26K 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.

I can’t imagine how YOU think. I have a brown truck. When I think of it, I see it. Seeing the words “brown” and ” truck” world just confuse me.
