but do all these people see and taste the same thing? or does it differ from person to person? Makes me wonder about how stuff in the bible is related to color like law/commandments and sapphire - the original 10 commandments were carved out of the sapphire throne of God.
I love D flat major because it's a dark bronze and reminds me of night. It's my favourite key. C sharp minor is dark blue mixed with grey and is a very intense key. E major is a sky blue.
I don't project like she does, but as an associative synesthete, I can see the colors in my mind's eye. Only with words and letters, days of the week, months, and sounds (Most musical, some not). I love it. I don't feel weird. I feel privileged.
Wow! Is this next step in evolution? It would be so amazing experience the world in this way. They should compose a song full of sweet tastes and beautiful colors. :)
I think being able to see colors with music would be so cool. Not so much the taste, because if I was eating and listening to music/people speaking, it would probably taste weird.
Mine, if I actually have it, is triggered by timbre primarily. Timbre creates colors and textures in my mind's eye. Key and rhythm play part as well. Also - when I ate psilocybin mushrooms, I could actually see the music in front of me.
I have a mild version of this too. Its not as strong as the person in this video though. I do not see colors to music with my eyes open, but if I am relaxed and have my eyes shut I get closed eye visuals, and the colors I see I 've found out relate directly to the pitches and chords used.
Major keys are brighter and minor keys are darker, A minor is red and G major is green. The colors tend to merge inbetween these.
@Maverik987654321 Fantastic! I don't know is that just a usual thing, but i can see that too, and the same colours as you said for A and G! Please, contact me to exchange expirience. :)
yeah, these numbers aren't right.. I have synesthesia, and I know for a fact that there are way more people in the world that have sound -> sight synesthesia.
I have mild synaesthesia. I associate people with colours, when I see the person I see a colour. If I think about that person, the colour comes to mind. I don't see it as any kind of disorder, I think it's pretty cool :D
"There are fewer than a thousand in the world who see colour with tone" what do they base this on? It seems like a ridiculously low number. I bet you could find more than a thousand in America alone.
People just don't think about it when they have it and so they stay under the 'scientific radar'.
@80Cetbal08 I have mild synthesesia to a point. I can physically feel music inside my body and I see the shapes and colors when I close my eyes with every harmony and string of notes. Synthesesia is also when people associate colors to numbers and time. I have 2 friends who have it. One of them will remember dates and numbers flawlessly because they're a color sequence, not just a number sequence. There is SO much more to it than said in this video. SO much more.
@80Cetbal08 You're right. The Wikipedia article on synesthesia says that as many as 1 in 23 persons has some form of synesthesia. This video is not very objective - it is exaggerating and being sensational.
there's also number synesthia where numbers can have shapes, colors and textures. My sister has this and when she told me casually the shape and color of certain numbers, I had to tell her that most people just see numbers. Very gifted gal :)
Actually, there are much more synaestets than said in this movie, just they don't know they are. Because I also didn't know, because I thought everyone can hear colors. And I also don't think that she is unique, I talked with a few who have the same connections she has... I think synaestetik is not so special like they try to make you think...
@EinsteinGrooving Yep I was actualy thingking the same. Im not synaestets but Im special in my own way that made me feel what most liek me feel in there past. Which is loneliness. I still feel it up to now but watching videos like this and knowing alot of names who are special makes me feel better. And yes i dont think we need to call it special cause theres already alot FOUND in this world and also I dont like (we dont) to be called special. Its kinda offensive for me and for alot like me
She has a lovely accent when she speaks English. :) I wish I'd grown up in a country where nearly everyone is bilingual. I wonder how her native language "looks" to her.
I see music, too. The colors are in music and colors, most definitely. If the colors clash, I get agitated. I can taste words. Not music, but words. My name, Derek, tastes like wood. The number eight tastes like eggs. Seven is orange, and tastes like a popsicle.
Numbers and letters also have personalities. This was the only way I could do math as a kid.
What's with the fart obsession on here? It seems like every fifth or sixth post is some Beavis wannabe asking "what's a fart taste like lol"
I think the people who actually think that's some awesome thing to ask should eat some beans, drop some acid, and quit asking the same damn question here.
@SailorBarsoom Believe it or not, some farts have color for me. My dog's farts are usually a dark, brackish yellow, and the association with such an ugly color grosses me out even more!
I'm not really surprised that some farts have color, or texture, or whatever. I'm just questioning the rather disturbingly large number of people who, upon learning that synaesthetes exist, immediately think, "at last! somebody who can tell me what a fart tastes like!!"
I'm amazed at the number of people who keep saying
this isn't real
they're lying
it's all bullshit
Apparently, the entire medical community, in all parts of the world, is engaged in a vast international, mufti-generational conspiracy to make us think that synesthesia is real, even though it isn't. Oh, and the LSD trippers and Native American Church are in on it too.
Yes, that's much easier to believe than that somebody might experience a taste sensation when listening to music. {roll eyes}

You're born with it or you're not is my understanding. Certain drugs, like mescaline or LSD, can induce it in people who normally don't experience it.
I saw a man on TV back in the 80s. He sees colors with sounds, but it only blocks his vision in certain rare cases. The Emergency Broadcast signal, that loud high tone, causes him to see nothing but orange.
pick up line james never thought he'd use: "you taste music and i can taste words.. i was thinking we should go to an opera or something" sneaky bastard! haha their kids could enroll in prof. xavier's school!
It isn't LSD. People can acquire temporary synesthetic experiences with LSD, but there are hundreds of synesthetes who've never taken LSD and still see sound and taste smells and personify objects. I have two kinds, I know a couple of people with over 10 kinds of synesthesia. I've never taken LSD or any hallucogenic or dissociative drug.
@ff939606 For me Dubstep usually has lots of dark colors. Tons of deep purples and blues. Almost black. Some bright yellows. That's not to say the rest of the colors aren't there though. It really depends on the song. Hope that helps! :)
Damn, I have that color-image synaesthesia but only images in my head. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually see it in front of you. How distracting :|
All of these five senses are but the one sense of feeling. We do not have five senses. Seeing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our eyes. Hearing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our ears. Tasting and smelling are sensations of feeling light waves reacting upon mouth and nostrils.
All variation in sense of feeling is due to a difference of electric conditioning in pulsing wave matter.
@LadyMayalee - I'm a synesthete, and I can tell you it's not a "power." It's an easily explainable phenomena that occurs in the brain, and it just so happens that not as many people experience it as to be deemed "common." It's no more a "special power" than, say, a musician having perfect pitch. To assign the word "power" implies it's something magical, which it's not. But it is, indeed, interesting to experience! :-)
@UnfareVideogame - I love death metal. Different songs look different, depending on the band and song. Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Therion, Theatre of Tragedy, Opeth and Cynic are particularly interesting - probably because they're more "etherial." Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Vital Remains, Morbid Angel, Nile, etc. produce something a little different - "thicker."
The "facts" of this video are a bit off . For example, many thousands of people have many different types of synesthesia, and it's not as rare as this video claims. Also, synesthesia is not a "power", nor mysterious. Vilayanur Ramachandran has excellent lectures on it.
As a synesthete myself, I really appreciate the illustrations of sensory experience in the video. At times it matches my experience, and other things differ. Interesting vid, nonetheless!
@cat563 I guess that people with Synesthesia tend to go out and search for these kinds of videos, to learn more about their condition. As for us 'normal' people, we tend to just stumble upon things like these occasionally, and maybe not even be bothered to comment. Just saying. :D
...really uncomfortable ;p Having to write this date so many times at school wasn't a pleasant thing. But 8 is so nice. It's round & smooth, and greenish-blue. All the even numbers are "good". And the last thing - memory. Well, I can't complain. Especially about numbers - I know all my friends and members' of family adresses, phone numbers, dates of birth. I used to memorize whole pages from books just for fun. And poems. I really don't learn them - they just come into my mind. IguessThat'sAll=]
...that I like Thursday and hate Tuesday but in fact there was no particular reason for it... Now I know it's because Thursday has got a calming blue shade and Tuesday is filthy brown. Moreover, I like "playing" with numbers, e.g. on number plates (my mom does it too). There's something really special about each number for me. I hate uneven numbers, especially 9. It's so...uncertain I would say. As if it was going to collapse any moment. It makes me wanna cry. In the year 1999 I felt really...
...because they're pointed, sharp, unpleasantly smooth, metal. cold and so bright that I feel pain in my eyes. Just as if a sharp blade with blinding light reflected in it was stuck in my eyeball. Well, it must sound weird... =] What's more, I can see words written in front of me but unfortunately they're colourless :( I can also see numbers fixed in a special order before my eyes. The same with days of a week and months and they're a little bit coloured. I have always said that I like..
I can see music, but not only colours - I can see shapes and feel its texture as well. Sounds make me picture a kind of 3D composition that moves a little. Something like modern art painting ;) That's why it's hard for me to read while listening to music because the picture that the sounds create in front of my eyes blurs the text... Low sounds are beautifully brown-maroon and velvet or furry, soft, sometimes nicely rough and usually round. High notes are the ones I strongly dislike because...
I have this condition all my life. I associate Letter and numbers as man and woman. I can remember doing this in my kindergarden class sitting in my little chair. I actually have told people and they put me to a test. I never get it wrong but I thought it was normal quote ME:A is a girl B is a girl too (although B is for Boy) C is a boy etc as I see all word in my mind I quickly see the letter male and female...
9:50 - 9:59 - ''your Surname is tomatoe katchup, and it doesn't go very well with cake' - ( Her name tasted like a thick cake : from earlier when they met). I want to be Sick now! heheh ( Kidding, am happy the way GOD made me)
I have Synesthesia. It definetly makes life more interesting. Love it...
I really cannot imagine a world where the word "Locker" isn't male, the emotion curiousity isn't sea green, or where my right hand isn't a lucky, down-to-earth female.
@leachim04 - ha! I just noticed that there are 665 comments here, and I'm the iconic 666, and here you are asking me about 6. Did you do that on purpose? ha. I actually see 6 as jet black, and a tricky fellow. But most synnies have a unique set of colors (& sometimes personality) for each grapheme. However, there are a lot of RED A's and WHITE O's out there, and I don't think there's an explanation for that! My O is white, but my A is light blue/green.
@leachim04 - hmm, 11 is my fave number because I love the sound, and it's crystally silver-white, and then I like how 3478 looks together, aqua blue, seafoam green, light warm yellow and muted red blending into the yellow like a tequila sunrise. Then this is a rainbow for me (ROYGBIV): CQTG43 - minus the Indigo/Violet - I have no purple anywhere in my graphemes! bummer. =P
I have it, and I was shocked to learn not everyone does. My long term memory is amazing and I shock friends w/ details of their childhood that I remember, such as their phone numbers and birthdays, girl scout troop numbers, etc. (I'm 49.) Some shy away from me, because I guess this isn't something most people remember, and they wonder by what means I obtained the information. It is just an extra mnemonic coming to my aid, my wonderful world of colored numbers and letters.
I have sight/sound sound/sight sound/feel feel/vision
smell can make vision, but not so often... like light. No taste no letters turning colours.. I forget written words and numbers easily but I never forget a colour.
but do all these people see and taste the same thing? or does it differ from person to person? Makes me wonder about how stuff in the bible is related to color like law/commandments and sapphire - the original 10 commandments were carved out of the sapphire throne of God.

All of these five senses are but the one sense of feeling. We do not have five senses. Seeing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our eyes. Hearing is a sensation of feeling light waves through our ears. Tasting and smelling are sensations of feeling light waves reacting upon mouth and nostrils.
All variation in sense of feeling is due to a difference of electric conditioning in pulsing wave matter.

@LadyMayalee - I'm a synesthete, and I can tell you it's not a "power." It's an easily explainable phenomena that occurs in the brain, and it just so happens that not as many people experience it as to be deemed "common." It's no more a "special power" than, say, a musician having perfect pitch. To assign the word "power" implies it's something magical, which it's not. But it is, indeed, interesting to experience! :-)

UnfareVideogame 7 months ago
@UnfareVideogame - I love death metal. Different songs look different, depending on the band and song. Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Therion, Theatre of Tragedy, Opeth and Cynic are particularly interesting - probably because they're more "etherial." Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Vital Remains, Morbid Angel, Nile, etc. produce something a little different - "thicker."

The "facts" of this video are a bit off . For example, many thousands of people have many different types of synesthesia, and it's not as rare as this video claims. Also, synesthesia is not a "power", nor mysterious. Vilayanur Ramachandran has excellent lectures on it.
As a synesthete myself, I really appreciate the illustrations of sensory experience in the video. At times it matches my experience, and other things differ. Interesting vid, nonetheless!

@cat563 I guess that people with Synesthesia tend to go out and search for these kinds of videos, to learn more about their condition. As for us 'normal' people, we tend to just stumble upon things like these occasionally, and maybe not even be bothered to comment. Just saying. :D

...really uncomfortable ;p Having to write this date so many times at school wasn't a pleasant thing. But 8 is so nice. It's round & smooth, and greenish-blue. All the even numbers are "good". And the last thing - memory. Well, I can't complain. Especially about numbers - I know all my friends and members' of family adresses, phone numbers, dates of birth. I used to memorize whole pages from books just for fun. And poems. I really don't learn them - they just come into my mind. IguessThat'sAll=]

...that I like Thursday and hate Tuesday but in fact there was no particular reason for it... Now I know it's because Thursday has got a calming blue shade and Tuesday is filthy brown. Moreover, I like "playing" with numbers, e.g. on number plates (my mom does it too). There's something really special about each number for me. I hate uneven numbers, especially 9. It's so...uncertain I would say. As if it was going to collapse any moment. It makes me wanna cry. In the year 1999 I felt really...

Well, it must sound weird... =] What's more, I can see words written in front of me but unfortunately they're colourless :( I can also see numbers fixed in a special order before my eyes. The same with days of a week and months and they're a little bit coloured. I have always said that I like..
PepeInRedAndGreen 8 months ago
I can see music, but not only colours - I can see shapes and feel its texture as well. Sounds make me picture a kind of 3D composition that moves a little. Something like modern art painting ;) That's why it's hard for me to read while listening to music because the picture that the sounds create in front of my eyes blurs the text... Low sounds are beautifully brown-maroon and velvet or furry, soft, sometimes nicely rough and usually round. High notes are the ones I strongly dislike because...

I have this condition all my life. I associate Letter and numbers as man and woman. I can remember doing this in my kindergarden class sitting in my little chair. I actually have told people and they put me to a test. I never get it wrong but I thought it was normal quote ME:A is a girl B is a girl too (although B is for Boy) C is a boy etc as I see all word in my mind I quickly see the letter male and female...

@leachim04 - ha! I just noticed that there are 665 comments here, and I'm the iconic 666, and here you are asking me about 6. Did you do that on purpose? ha. I actually see 6 as jet black, and a tricky fellow. But most synnies have a unique set of colors (& sometimes personality) for each grapheme. However, there are a lot of RED A's and WHITE O's out there, and I don't think there's an explanation for that! My O is white, but my A is light blue/green.
Tracena22 9 months ago
@leachim04 - hmm, 11 is my fave number because I love the sound, and it's crystally silver-white, and then I like how 3478 looks together, aqua blue, seafoam green, light warm yellow and muted red blending into the yellow like a tequila sunrise. Then this is a rainbow for me (ROYGBIV): CQTG43 - minus the Indigo/Violet - I have no purple anywhere in my graphemes! bummer. =P

I have it, and I was shocked to learn not everyone does. My long term memory is amazing and I shock friends w/ details of their childhood that I remember, such as their phone numbers and birthdays, girl scout troop numbers, etc. (I'm 49.) Some shy away from me, because I guess this isn't something most people remember, and they wonder by what means I obtained the information. It is just an extra mnemonic coming to my aid, my wonderful world of colored numbers and letters.
