The biologist who talked on the podcast also said that hallucinations that are part of psychotic disorders and Parkinson's might be described as hyper hyper hyperohantasia.

I listened to a podcast on aphantasia too (maybe the same one? Mine was on Stuff You Should Know). They said a lot of graphic designers have aphantasia which might actually be an asset because you can just draw stuff and work it out instead of going on the preconceived notion of what you visualize in your head.
