Why is it mostly coloured letters that gets investigated - what narrow thinking! You say 'genetic condition' that affects your senses: wrong! You can get synesthesia after brain injury, I got: loud sounds created visual distortions and visual stimulus/emotions caused me to 'smell' things, mostly gone now. Also some people who are labelled as 'schizophrenic' have these 'hallucinations' because actually they have brain injuries but have never had MRIs done, drugs can make it worse.

@MRIscansCT "neurologically-based" would be more accurate than genetic condition I guess. Thanks for the enlightenment.

description even

[VIKTORISAKSSON]

Those sounds which she starts at 2:36 are green, intensely bubbly and popping with a scary and indifferent view upon my existance, coming from someplace really far away. Just how my synesthesia interprets things.

@borborygymi thanks for reply, i was curuious that how brain one can instantly recognize many written numbers in one sight without looking at each of them.

[borborygymi]

@TheSchimmi I don't like the curmudgeon 3 either! How strange that we both have a negative personality for 3!

[borborygymi]

@yadishansar Sorry, just stepped out for a year or so.. it causes conflict and I usually have to "fix" the number by putting a slash through a 7 and a lower line on a 1 that looks like a 7. I don't like that at all, plus I memorize numbers almost instantly, so I am very careful about making sure I know the exact numbers in any sequence the first time I see them, otherwise I will make a mistake fairly consistently.

@borborygymi How do you see numbers, i have a question for you. What if a number looks like two numbers, i means what if i write 1 in a way that it also looks like 7, what color it will have?
