Yeah, kinda. To explain it very simplified, you have a thinking brain, and an emotional brain, for example you are not either of these things, you are (we are all) observing those brain processes. Your thinking brain is designed to churn away, and similarly your emotional brain. In my interpretation, some people's parts are just louder and more vibrant. Which can have pros and cons, it's way more manageable if it's not so loud it's domineering. Having a thinking brain, that's essentially grown and formed by all of the input, until now, churning away loudly, isn't really a description of schizophrenia. It's more, a depth of perception of reality, both based on internal and external perceptions. This article is talking about the relationship between the ocular reception, as interpreted by the brain, though, so not really the thinking brain, or emotional brain.

I have bipolar and it feels like my brain just tosses things at me. I get some really good ideas and I am quick with jokes because i don't even think, my brain is an absurdity machine.

FWIW i also have aphantasia, but i have an internal monologue and pretty good auditory imagination, and i hallucinate sounds quite often when it's quiet and i'm laying in bed. I also get a light form of sleep paralysis every now and then, where i'll wake up and my brain insists that garderobe handles are insects or whatever. So yeah i think that broadly jives with your hypothesis, since i get auditory hallucinations while awake but only get visual ones when in a severely altered state of mind.
