I doubt a single image can say something so broad reaching about someone's cognition. You'd need multiple images displayed in more standardized conditions to know anything with confidence. People could be seeing this on all sorts of displays, from an OLED smartphone screen with blue light filter enabled, to an HDR monitor with custom color calibration. They could have the image fill different proportions of their field of view and see it in very different emotional contexts. A single data point cannot say anything about a person's cognition.

On top of that, I have no idea what you mean by high vs low level vision. Are you talking about bottom-up vs top-down processing more generally?

Regardless, a single image on 196 can't fully demonstrate which way you lean on anything.

What does that mean tho

and if see a bright red? this doesn't seem very scientific I'd love to see some more info

I only see red and black colors

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 :)

This seems a bit flawed. I have aphantasia (which is what I assume you mean when you say low-level vision) and I can see a red/orange circle. (I'm going to assume the difference in colour is because of my screen) It isn't well defined but it is bright and I would guess that I wouldn't see one at all since I can't see anything in my mind at all.

seeing through an optical illusion is low level vision?

What if I can alternate between both?

Edit: I've looked at it a bit more:

• I can make the black circles into "windows" that show a red circle behind a white wall.

• I can also overlay the red circle as a mask in front of the black parts, so that only the black parts make the red circle visible (like in a shader program or when masking parts of an image in a photo editor).

• Then I can also envision a red hue along the white parts of the image that follows the silhouette of the red circle.

• And then I can "deactivate" the silhouette again, so that the red parts are simply drawn on top of the black circles, with no relation to each other.

I think this is just a test to see if you have experienced a certain effect before.

What if the circle is bright red?

Edit: oh I see the circle now.

Glide failed to gray l grab this image

What vision do I have?

bro, the circle is red

Also you can do a pretty easy 3D magic eye thing with this picture. That's at least what happened when I was looking at it

That's mean
