Synesthesia


Or together. When one sense leads to another sense involuntary. There are many forms of synesthesia, like seeing sounds, tasting shapes or hearing colors. Its said to be a neurological condition. Researchers say it lets us know more about our brain and if colors, or other senses, really exist. As you can probably already tell by the title, this post will be about hearing colors, a form of synesthesia. I am only going to do a small explanation on what it is. If you want to know more about it other forms, you can read [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .


Onward

There are people, including I who have have, you can say the ability, to hear colors. These people are called synesthetes. When said person hear a letter, word or a number, there is a neural short-circuit that allows them to perceive it with another sense. Say the person is give the word plane. They may see it as brown or even green. They can also have different colors for each letter in the alphabet. Here is an example on how one might see it.

Is it easier for you to determine the color by hearing it or if it is written down. For me its hearing it. Also, my march was green, my october was orange and my saturday was a dark blue like the color of my name. The only difference is my tuesday was more yellow.

It appears that I have some forms of synesthesia. Whenever someone mentions days of the week, or months of the year, I can hear a color. For example, when people say August I can "hear" green, sort of a lime color.

Interesting syndrome, I believe I will test myself further.
Nice topic man.
