Synesthesia







Did a test online and searched about it online, they described me with 'resonating with synesthesia' i find more asociation in music and colours etc then i do to letters and numbers to colours.


React stronger to sounds in music smells and colours


tend to give importance on objects/images rather than text.


Certain words can trigger ideas and link with other senses easily through thought.


Images or certain feelings can appear briefly to inspire me.


delved into it form my earlier research kenya hara’s haptic.


Especially when I associate with memories and locations how i feel familiarity is not through similarity of the street by looking but the whole unified body feeling that the atmosphere smells familiar. Not in a literal way in an indescribable way. the human body is a mystery in how we understand

There are at least 80 known types of synesthesia, but some are more common than others:


Chromesthesia: In this common form of synesthesia, sounds and colors are associated with each other. For example, the musical note "D" may correspond to seeing the color green.


Grapheme-color synesthesia: This is a common form of synesthesia characterized by seeing graphemes (letter or numerals) shaded with a color. Synesthetes don't associate the same colors for a grapheme as each other, although the letter "A" does appear to be red to many individuals. Persons who experience grapheme-color synesthesia sometimes report seeing impossible colors when red and green or blue and yellow graphemes appear next to each other in a word or number.


Number form: A number form is a mental shape or map of numbers resulting from seeing or thinking about numbers.


Lexical-gustatory synesthesia: This a rare type of synesthesia in which hearing a word results in tasting a flavor. For example, a person's name might taste like chocolate.


Mirror-touch synesthesia: While rare, mirror-touch synesthesia is noteworthy because it can be disruptive to a synesthete's life. In this form of synesthesia, an individual feels the same sensation in response to a stimulus as another person. For example, seeing a person being tapped on the shoulder would cause the synesthete to feel a tap on the shoulder too.


Many other forms of synesthesia occur, including smell-color, month-flavor, sound-emotion, sound-touch, day-color, pain-color, and personality-color (auras).
