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) @[email protected] see here :)

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

Huh apparently I am hyperphantasic, it probably relates to my lucid dreaming.

I found the part about creating and manipulating complex scenes interesting because I have mostly used that for martial arts.

But according to the OP I would have low level vision lol

I usually see through optical illusions like that white/gold vs blue/back dress I could see both but immediately knew it was blue/black.
