Well, I mean, sometimes I think and see colors when listening to music. When I hear techno, I think of blue, and with classic rock I think of black and purple. Broadway stuff is red and heavy metal is deep purple. Pop is green and classical is brown.
J G Ballard was a doctor turned novelist, who incorporated musings about the nature of the brain into his early short stories - notably Voices of Time, from 1960 - contains a provocative description of irradiated creatures who (briefly) develop synesthetic capability. Some of the story takes place inside the mind of a mutated creature of this type
I tend to relate colours with letters. For example whe I visualise vowel "i" it is yellow for me or in other words, vowel "i" evokes colour yellow to me. This is just one of many kind of asociations I make and I cannot remember every one right now, but it is not something I do regularly. I guess most people do things like this.
@ReazShelly It means your future is very blue and you'll probably die from drowning on a very blue river which is near to your blue house where your blue food is.

its a matter of learning to recognize it as a clear advantage over others. The problem being is schools arent designed to accomodate us. They know we are the third eye's in modern materialism. They want you to stop looking deep within yourself. No one else is going down the rabbit hole. Governments hope we are a dying breed. The last thing we need is a free thinking synaesthete. I call it Psi. Or maybe even a minor awakening into the realm of thought at the least.
I associate colors with sounds/music... For me, human singing voices are red tones, and things like pitch, volume, tone, and power determine things like the hue, value, saturation, shade, etc. of red...
Something like a singing voice is pretty easy to make out, but it's an obscure sensation a lot of the time.
im an associator! its crazy how much the colors of the letters mean to me, especially in some letters. I can't think of the letter D in black or yellow. it HAS to be green or it doesn't make as much sense. I think that i sometimes stumble on my words a bit when I'm reading because the colors don't match up. without the right colors, a letter is only half of its whole.
Some people say that acupuncture makes your synthsesia much stronger for a while. Of course for some synethsthetes this has the opposite effect, but it's worth a try! I'd like to try it myself
My showers are green and 'gloopy', I went to a skate park and I seen purple floating around, this one time I was playing a video game and listening to music and little red fireworks started zooming around everywhere, I must be a synnie but I think I dont pay enough attention to my senses to REALLY expierience synesthesia. Any tips synnies? I can sort of see a shadow around letters and numbers but I can't make out a color for them. I know stuff is different for each of us but any rule of thumb?
first part is orange and red till .50 then it goes to purple with a little orange and then spots of red. some yellow came at 1:36 then the purple orange took completely. at 2:08 started getting silver from pinging, went to amber at 2:40. then orange at 3:04, for me there are no shapes just color that is always moving. a bit like a light fog running water would be yellow, base guitar would be red, flutes would be blue or purple most voices are amber with tinges of other colors red to purple
Every synesthete's perception is different!! you can't tell which perception is right and which isn't! so you can't argue about what sex, color, taste a letter or number or thing has.Maybe there could be similarities but it only depends on how the synesthete perceives his ot her world!
@free1here I see little dots ranging from yellow to orange to red. They're bright. They're laughing, playing and are very young. They may be a little unintelligent, but at least they're happy.
@MrDwilly wow i love that observation:) yeah a lot of his music reminds me of things like that..I am not synaesthestic (sp?)..but his music really helps my imagination become more clearer seeing positive stuff...I know his gift is from God:)
i have synesthesia, and things are not necessarily attached to a specific color they have an image/feeling/mental picture. so i laugh at those of you who are arguing about what each letter, it is a personal experience shaped form your personal experiences, personality, and your outlook on life. PLUS IT GOES FOR ALL SENSES, not just sound-visual or numerical value-color ect. and if you are arguing about the ABSOLUTE VALUE of a numbers color chances are you're victim to the placebo effect. lol....
@hyphyboy777 no i have had it all of my life. but.... it is intensified when i am high (weed) i can see a flowing image in my head from listening to music. i have never tried psychedelics.
The thing about the similar letters is very true for me. I and 1 are both yellow, m an n are both dark, M is very dark blue and n is dark green. And O and 0 are both similar, O is Dark purple and 0 is black. 0=black 1=yellow 2=orange 3= tangerine 4 =lilac 5=red 6=purple 7=blue 8= dark green 9= hot pink But double digits are undescribable colours :) My syneathesis includes weekdays,months,emotions,personalities,numbers,alphabet and musical instruments, all to colour :)
For me, Tuesdays are yellow, 4 is yellow too but brighter and "ay" is red. Sunday is skin colored and my sisters name, Caroline, is orange. I always thought I was crazy, glad to know I'm not the only one lol :)
@ThereminWeirdo i dont match colors up with sounds.. i only picture the colors in my head, so for me, A is always red, B is always blue, C is always yellow, and so on.
@pillsberrydoughgirll i kinda have synesthesia, if you tell me to draw out letters or numbers, or write the names of months or people's names, i would want to write them in certain colors because it would look better to me. I dont see colors when reading, but if i hear the month "march" i think in my head "aqua blue", or if i drew out a card for my friend, "lauren", her name would be in perriwinkle.
Wait im just wondering because i don't have this..and i kinda wish i did haha it seems like it makes everything prettier but anyways are the letters in this sentence all different colours or are they just black? i don't really understand lol :)
for me the numbers 5 and 8 have always been pink and grey. but only when they are together i dont see any other numbers as having their own colour. :)
a=red b=blue c=yellow d=dark blue e=yellow f=orange g=green h=brown i=light blue j=dark green k=purple l=orange m=yellow n=yellow o=variable (white or blue) p=blue q=purple r=red s=orange t=dark blue or brown u=yellow v=maroon w=green x=black y=yellow z=??
Some colours are really strong and some are really weak or variable...
@BagonafStudios GREEN?? LOL For me it's most definately red. She's sort of a bitch, the letter A, but she's really just lonely and sad. She wishes she could get close to people, but her bitchiness pushes people away. I can eve see what kind of woman she'd look like.
@BagonafStudios A for me is red....in some ways synesthesia for me is a heavy burden....my sense of taste is the only one that is not mixed with the other senses...but the rest of them are extremely developed...i can touch whatever i see....i can see colours in every letter and number...i can touch and see sounds....i have this condition since i was 5 years old...actually it was then when i realised that something was not right...
I've heard Synaesthesia can be knocked on by an injury to the head. Is this true? On another note, there are two incredible looking brunettes at 6:58. Oh what I would give for a night with that pair.
My daughter is Deaf-Bling and Mute,I wonder if someone can explain to me as if she can have synaesthesia,she can smell,touch and taste.She giggle during sleep while dreaming,I wonder what does she see's or hears?is it tactile simulation/stimulation.Lately I have seen a video a turkish blind man can paint with colors,how isit possible?any clues?
Thanks for the info! I see colours in my minds' eye, when I read words, letters and numbers. I always thought you only had true synaesthesia when you saw the colour projected out, but it turns out, I may be an associator. :)
This isn't just associating a song with a feeling, a feeling with a color, or a color with a song ... this is so much more than that. These people do not listen to a song and put a feeling/mood/color with it to fit ... they don't get to pick what they see/smell/feel when it comes to these things. For example, it isn't a song, it is a sound within that that gives them a specific color. There are other examples including numbers and letters, but it is only something like 1% of the world.
I just wanna say... it seems kinda interesting that you look at a video about something out of the ordinary and all of a sudden in the comments there are a million people saying "oh I have that too"... not saying i dont believe you all its just a little bit weird.
I have always known synaesthesia isn't a defect. It doesn't take some scientist to tell me what I should do with my mind. I scoff at the paradigm of today's scientific minds too often I have been right and they have been wrong. I never get a cent for it because I apply my science to either myself or others and experiment without the need to chase money. I have a brain and I use it. Unlike those poor confused intellectuals. I am only 20.
So it is actually language processing defect. The sound is mis-associated by the brain with a color.
The associations with text, i.e., seeing a Zero as white, really come from knowing that the image represents of the spoken word for Zero. Are deaf-mutes prone to this?
I am almost certain I have this a-red b-blue c-green d-blue e-green f-brown g-brown h-yellow i-white j-purple k-pink L-yellow m-red n-red o-black p-green q-purple r-red s-yellow t-blue u-yellow v-purple w-red x-yellow y-yellow z- for see I see a pattern and not a certain color?? I see stripes..
@MIKAFAN41 my r's and a's are red too, and they are also the color of 1. As a kid, I'd also accidently say the first letter of the alphabet is R because it has the number one color.
I've never been evaluated myself but I do see colors and shapes when I hear music (in a mind's eye sense) and letters and numbers have colors. My mom also tastes colors.
what is it when rare things bother you like simple things like some one cleaning and its you responsibility but that specific thing must be clean or it bothers me.for another example my friend wears socks into the pool and shes has to take them off or i will take them off by force its like things have to be done right or i go crazy,i hope its not ocd
Fun fact: learning Arabic the letter Jeem was terrible to learn since it was purple from having a sound like J but was red since it looks like T. Never properly learned it, lol. Not that I can't learn it, goes to show how synesthesia when unhinged by chance in circumstances can make things a lot harder. Synesthesia is great!
For me, the colors don't change based on the letter's capitalization... but I notice that I sometimes do base it on the shape. I know both English and Russian; Russian has a few characters that look identical to their English counterparts but sound different. The letter "B" in Russian actually makes a "V" sound, but it's colored identically to the English "B".
Wow! Your comment basically describes what I've been noticing all my life. I've been reading a book called "The Power Of Concentration" and I now understand that thought has a power that we yet do not know much about.
Now that I discovered that I have enough ecotplasm that I obtained from meditation, I'm starting to practice telekenesis. It's so sad to see people who do not understand this thing. The brain has some sort of energy that connects with the universe. Look it up ;X
This is a creative thing that anyone can due, people who are autistic or who have brain damage often end up in this position due to large amounts of introversion and introverted thought projection. People dont realize that not just the brain but outside of it there are ghost muscles involved with thought, the more you do practice or enphisize anything the more it will take place. There are alot of people who do this i would assume, alot of people who do this that would just think it normal.
The word "Red" is dark-red-brown. Even when presented as bright red or dark green color, it's remembered in my mind as "It's a red-brown sound." 1 and I are yellow-white but the notch makes the shape more yellow. N is tan-orange yet M is mauve. O and 0 are different because the O gives a rounder and therefore brighter peach/grey appearance. These are consistent for me.
I have something weird, I don't do the color letter thing, but when I associate an action, with a certain place(i.e. Modifying NCAA 05 rosters = backyard at friends house, or a certain football game = South Corridor at my school). I wasn't thinking about those things at those places they just came into my head, and whenever I do or think about doing those things, those places come to
Mind. Is this considered synesthesia? Any thoughts?
@ndwillriseagain It sounds like a related phenomena, but with crossing memories rather than sensations. I'm not sure if it has a name, but still pretty interesting.
There are a number of spelling errors and grammatical errors in your video, I wouldn't have said this without a point. When I see spelling errors or grammatical errors they have a contrasting, aura, per say to them compared to the other words in the video. Some of the words have strange color like attributes to them but they are kinda vague, but spelling and grammatical errors are contrast.
Awhile ago I used to argue with people about what color they thought of when they say the numbers 3 and 7 i always thought of orange and green respectively, now ironically for me orange + green = 10 and if you look in the related videos there is a thumbnail with an orange 3 and a green 7.
C is without the slightest doubt a clean shade of red, but im not too sure about A. Maybe a greyish almost white kinda colour, or yellow as mentioned before
You know, this is really cool to me, because I recently found out that my mom has a very unique type of synesthesia. And now, after gathering info from many different websites, I have concluded that I have a few types of it as well. Yay! @(^_^)@
One of my dreams is too get many people together , that has synth.Then too make a giant art project or....music project ..It would be massive! Im sure
I'm sure this has already been said, but the definition of synesthesia is more 'the process of one kind of sensory stimulus evokes the subjective experience of another' than 'one sense elicits others'.
There's a slight difference between the two definitions but it matters. After all, a sense can't illicit anything- the sense is the perception, the stimulus is the part of the equation that triggers the synesthetic response.
ok what hapins to me is ppl i know i see colors and here music for them everyone is defiant i don't control it at all its in my real site not minds eye and iv had it for as long as i can remember i don't know hats rong with me :(
I have this condition. For me sound that elicit a sense of touch and taste is a common as visual sensations. I also have epilepsy a condition in a lot of ways not unrelated to this. if anyone knows someone wants to study my brain or to research let me know.
wowZa!! people with Synaestheshia (SP) are really just...wow man thats cool my mom has this and its like a time thing like...a sideways spiral and she ses time like that...i think it awesome...whats the songs by the way i love them ^.^
hi nice video. i have a question i see colors in side of ppl a color all there one no 2 the same iv seen these colors my hole life do i have synesthesia?
nah, if anything i can only see advantages, i've heard everyone has it on some level or another. i arnt a synnie, i dont project, but i do associate types of pain with different pitches of sound.
i wish i could see auras.
what if someone is acting out of character? does the aura change colour or texture? like for example a normally calm person, what would their aura be like? and what would happen to the aura if said person was acting angry?
every one has there one 2 colors cinda mix looking some look like fire some look like water and so on i don't see if they are sad butt throw there color i feel what they feel if thet makes scene like the color is a emoticon window
btw blaze your blood red and grass green talk to you later :D
WHen things are not working I always tend to kow how to fix it and put it back up and working. As for music, I see images in my head and sound waves. I don't understand this at all. Do I have Synaesthesia?
Well, I mean, sometimes I think and see colors when listening to music. When I hear techno, I think of blue, and with classic rock I think of black and purple. Broadway stuff is red and heavy metal is deep purple. Pop is green and classical is brown.

This isn't just associating a song with a feeling, a feeling with a color, or a color with a song ... this is so much more than that. These people do not listen to a song and put a feeling/mood/color with it to fit ... they don't get to pick what they see/smell/feel when it comes to these things. For example, it isn't a song, it is a sound within that that gives them a specific color. There are other examples including numbers and letters, but it is only something like 1% of the world.

i do not have this but, but I am shizo and can smell my feelins and music enchanches it. what is that?

@dreamsandnightmarez Smelling feelings is synaesthesia. It is not schizophrenia. Have you been diagnosed with schizophrenia by a doctor?

@MyLizardQueen Many synesthetics are diagnosed with some kind of mental disorder... Frankly, I'm quite tired of that.

I just wanna say... it seems kinda interesting that you look at a video about something out of the ordinary and all of a sudden in the comments there are a million people saying "oh I have that too"... not saying i dont believe you all its just a little bit weird.
Excellent vid by the way.

At 2:30 I saw blue diamonds with pressing red stripes that pushed up and away...funky stuff.
I don't particularly know what kind of synesthesia I have. I know my mind works a little differently...it's a feeling with words.
I associate everything with a color or mood, though.

I have always known synaesthesia isn't a defect. It doesn't take some scientist to tell me what I should do with my mind. I scoff at the paradigm of today's scientific minds too often I have been right and they have been wrong. I never get a cent for it because I apply my science to either myself or others and experiment without the need to chase money. I have a brain and I use it. Unlike those poor confused intellectuals. I am only 20.

FromRussiaWithLuv007 1 year ago
So it is actually language processing defect. The sound is mis-associated by the brain with a color.
The associations with text, i.e., seeing a Zero as white, really come from knowing that the image represents of the spoken word for Zero. Are deaf-mutes prone to this?

@MIKAFAN41 my r's and a's are red too, and they are also the color of 1. As a kid, I'd also accidently say the first letter of the alphabet is R because it has the number one color.
I've never been evaluated myself but I do see colors and shapes when I hear music (in a mind's eye sense) and letters and numbers have colors. My mom also tastes colors.

Fun fact: learning Arabic the letter Jeem was terrible to learn since it was purple from having a sound like J but was red since it looks like T. Never properly learned it, lol. Not that I can't learn it, goes to show how synesthesia when unhinged by chance in circumstances can make things a lot harder. Synesthesia is great!

For me, the colors don't change based on the letter's capitalization... but I notice that I sometimes do base it on the shape. I know both English and Russian; Russian has a few characters that look identical to their English counterparts but sound different. The letter "B" in Russian actually makes a "V" sound, but it's colored identically to the English "B".

Wow! Your comment basically describes what I've been noticing all my life. I've been reading a book called "The Power Of Concentration" and I now understand that thought has a power that we yet do not know much about.
Now that I discovered that I have enough ecotplasm that I obtained from meditation, I'm starting to practice telekenesis. It's so sad to see people who do not understand this thing. The brain has some sort of energy that connects with the universe. Look it up ;X

This is a creative thing that anyone can due, people who are autistic or who have brain damage often end up in this position due to large amounts of introversion and introverted thought projection. People dont realize that not just the brain but outside of it there are ghost muscles involved with thought, the more you do practice or enphisize anything the more it will take place. There are alot of people who do this i would assume, alot of people who do this that would just think it normal.
hahayourcoool 1 year ago
The word "Red" is dark-red-brown. Even when presented as bright red or dark green color, it's remembered in my mind as "It's a red-brown sound." 1 and I are yellow-white but the notch makes the shape more yellow. N is tan-orange yet M is mauve. O and 0 are different because the O gives a rounder and therefore brighter peach/grey appearance. These are consistent for me.

I have something weird, I don't do the color letter thing, but when I associate an action, with a certain place(i.e. Modifying NCAA 05 rosters = backyard at friends house, or a certain football game = South Corridor at my school). I wasn't thinking about those things at those places they just came into my head, and whenever I do or think about doing those things, those places come to

There are a number of spelling errors and grammatical errors in your video, I wouldn't have said this without a point. When I see spelling errors or grammatical errors they have a contrasting, aura, per say to them compared to the other words in the video. Some of the words have strange color like attributes to them but they are kinda vague, but spelling and grammatical errors are contrast.
Chinahat242 2 years ago
Awhile ago I used to argue with people about what color they thought of when they say the numbers 3 and 7 i always thought of orange and green respectively, now ironically for me orange + green = 10 and if you look in the related videos there is a thumbnail with an orange 3 and a green 7.

I'm sure this has already been said, but the definition of synesthesia is more 'the process of one kind of sensory stimulus evokes the subjective experience of another' than 'one sense elicits others'.
There's a slight difference between the two definitions but it matters. After all, a sense can't illicit anything- the sense is the perception, the stimulus is the part of the equation that triggers the synesthetic response.

nah, if anything i can only see advantages, i've heard everyone has it on some level or another. i arnt a synnie, i dont project, but i do associate types of pain with different pitches of sound.
i wish i could see auras.
what if someone is acting out of character? does the aura change colour or texture? like for example a normally calm person, what would their aura be like? and what would happen to the aura if said person was acting angry?
