Some people have the capability to see and taste music. This also gives them extraordinary powers of memory.

  • 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.

  • "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'.

  • 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.

  • its almost like they're flirting. "oh, your name tastes like cake ;D" how cool

  • ohh menn, why can't i be a superhuman

  • I give numbers personalities.3 is happy.8 is smart.7 is cool.And so on.

  • thats awesome....

    

  • its like acid lol

  • 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.

  • "it doesn't go very nice with cake"

  • @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.

  • she's like that woman in Heroes
