  • This is great that this video is out there, and that Daniel had the opportunity to do this. Many people across the UW community have been greatly saddened by his recent murder.

  • I admire these things.

  • Yeah, to me K is red, A is white, etc.

  • Lol, are y'all serious? You're just visualizing one system through the parameters of another.

    Duh.

  • Hello!

    Well, synaesthesia occures when in the brain there are crossed connections between senses areas... so the possible combinations of mixed senses are unlimited:

    touching, seeing shapes color and tasting music,

    "hearing" tastes,

    Hearing colors (example, red and blue together are noisy)

    seeing letters, weekdays and months in color and space position,

    E T C

    If you can feel things like this, maybe could have synaesthesia.

    And its cool!!!

  • Every time I hear music, someone talking to me, ME talking, or any sound, I see a wisp, almost a ribbon of colors in the air around me and/or where the sound is coming from. It is so real that I could grab them with my hands and collect them in a bottle. I can also see time, and numbers give distinct shapes and colors.

    I was tested, I had an MRI scan done during certain sense stimulation activities, my brain is hot-wired like no one else's. I have synaesthesia.

  • ohh my god, that heather mann chick went to my highschool, she was always pretty fucked up

  • ok people, i know u all think u have synaesthesia, but it's actuallt pretty damn rare. i sometimes do the same thing, thinking, "oh yeah, 1 is red, 9 is purple, etc" but actually for these people (their brains were scanned) the numbers actually are at the same time read by their brain as colours, rather than like most people who just say "oh yeah, 1 is red, 9 is purple, etc.

  • too many shrooms. but i do want to know what the color blue tastes like....
