Synaesthesia requires attention?...

[Synnie83]

@raydredX This means that if you do not focus on it, than you do not percieve it.

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!

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....

Huh. When I was younger, I'd get a really sour taste in my mouth whenever my music teacher talked. My mouth would just taste dry whenever I thought of paper towels or carpets. And I also heard that if your family members have it, you are likely to have it too. My brother has synesthesia already. So yeah.

@Synnie83 yes thats true :) 

[loonycarnival]

its bullshit!!! every person with Synaesthesia sees in different colour when hearing music or imagines words and numbers. trust me this video is bullshit

smoking weed always gives me synesthesia - i can see the colour of sound.

Synesthesia is so cool to resesarch. I didn't realize that I'm an associative grapheme synesthete until I watched a doctumentary 3 years ago. I'd had never really thought of what letters are certain colours but when I thought of it I realized that they all have very specific colours. I never knew why I coloured my time tables for school the same way. French as pink English as green. I never noticed that I have certain colours for numbers and letters because I don't physically see it.

@misium It's just there IDK but i've always had it...

[misium]

@ThisGuysMovies What do you mean see-trough? You can't possibly see what's under the surface. Unless... if a girl wares a t-shirt with a '0' printed on it, can you see the boobies?

[ThisGuysMovies]

@BlueZodiac333 I guess we share that as well then! :D

[ThisGuysMovies]

@misium I can see them in my head 'cause I see white 0 and a see-through background. But thanks for asking! :D

[misium]

@ThisGuysMovies Does it mean you don't see zeros?
