That said, how do you know? If I "close my eyes an imagine the apple in the picture" I can both see "black" like the author mentioned and I can imagine what an apple looks like. I would describe what I see as a photo of that apple but I can't actually see the apple. But I don't see a list of facts about it either.
So, is this a language barrier? Are there tests we can run to prove that I can see things in my minds eye that others cannot? Can I prove that I have the ability and that I don't fall into the 2%?
Edit: Apparently, yes, if I would just follow the links. The test says I have visual hyperphantasia but I still wonder, is this just the way I think about the things I conjure up in my mind? :P
