Synesthesia - A very short introduction

I have made this video to summarize what Synesthesia (also spelled Synaesthesia) is to people who don't know about this somewhat rare neurological condition. Synesthesia is a conditon where people are born with two or more of their senses (vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell) hooked together, making them see sounds, taste colours, hear smells, etc.

i think this is one of the best videos here about synesthesia..i searched and searched about this topic here in youtube in attemp to do my Biology report about Synesthesia (i first heard about it in discovery science and loved it!) and i FINALLY found this!! a video that contains many good sources and references and i specially LOVE the way you divided it into clear obvious pionts.

TNX:)

Ohhh, the portion about visualizing the calendar made me smile. :) Always thought it was so obtuse that I saw the months in this manner. Definitely have sound synesthesia. Music is a very emotional and visual experience for me. I couldnt grasp why others simply liked or didnt like certain songs. There's so much more.

I will say, although this is a girt I adore, its a shame others can't enjoy it too..
