Mine are spatial but mostly not actually visual. So probably more kinesthetic than properly visual. (I have more thoughts about the original point but I haven't decided how to express them usefully yet.)

Yes, this mathematical sense that is vague-ish shapes that aren't quite visual and aren't quite kinesthetic but sort of both is extremely interesting.

Slightly embarassed to say that the 'colors' in this case are actually 'alpha' and 'beta', although I did make them blue and red on talk slides. Could also call them 'textures', 'directions', 'musical notes' or 'scents'

(1/2) mine are b/w, look like textbook diagrams. but also simple and fragmentary and concentrated in a small "virtual fovea" that "saccades" around (i think most/all of my mental imagery is that way). not sure what % of it actually adds value by using spatial cognition...
