And what am I expected to see?

Depending on your brain you will see different things! This experiment relates to visual cognition. If you see a dark orange circle your brain leans high-level vision and the dimmer the orange circle is (or if you don’t see one at all) the more you lean low-level vision.

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.
