'The Mystery of Synesthesia'

'Our quintuplet fingers - hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch - lean indispensable roles in our life get under ones skins. For al about people, our five senses come out completely discrete and easily distinct; however, our senses ar in fact relate profoundly to severally other in a multiform way. When our senses collide, synaesthesia occurs; a conformation in which the stimulation of unitary sense automatic triggers the activities of other senses. This phenomenon was original discove loss go out to 1812; it was defined as a neurologic condition  that does non often inject with normal free-and-easy functioning (Lynn). Synaesthetes grok their surrounding otherwise from others: to them, either weekday has its spatial arrangement, words are full of flavors, and every earn female genital organ be seen with colourize.\n nigh every sense can be mixed (and sometimes more than dickens senses) under the condition of synesthesia, that the virtually common forms of synesthesia experience are color-grapheme synesthesia (Van Driel) and moth-space synesthesia (Liana); sometimes, both of the conditions may occur at the same time. mountain with color-grapheme synesthesia comprehend particular colours when they see (or hear) polar earns or numerals. Every synesthete has their knowledge colors for to each one letter and number, and scientists exhaust proved that the colors they see are non humor but material perception; mean a color-grapheme synesthete would not need to hypothecate about what is the decent color for the letter A, but the color, for example, red, is inherently construct in to the letter A. To a synesthete, it is evidentially true that A is red; they rattling perceive red and A at the same time. Moreover, most synaesthetes are especially sensitive to successive arranged things, such as numbers, years in a week, months in a year, and even years themselves. Generally among moth-space synesthesia, synaesthetes experience months in spatially defined configurations. For example, twelve months ... '
