Even people with aphantasia see as a result of a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing.

Also note that aphantasia is not a condition which is confirmed to even exist.

As an aphant I’m pretty sure it exists. But just in case let me close my eyes and double-check...nope still nothing there. ;-).
