  • Do you prefer simple songs (as in very few instruments) or complex songs (as in lots of instruments)?

    That cool but I still don’t understand what some of them mean :S

    Well, there’s grapheme-color, which makes you see colors on letters,

    Then there’s time units-color, meaning that seconds, minutes, days or even years have colors

    There’s musical sounds-color, which enables you  have “colored music”

    Then there’s flavor-touch, that makes you feel textures on your body when you taste something. 

    The rest pretty much share statistics :)

  • My husband's Sgt moved in with us because he's dealing with a messy divorce, and the other day he was kind enough to accompany me while I shopped for perfume. He kept turning down all of my choices, then eventually handed me one, saying it was "more like me", and bought it for me as a gift. When I asked about it later, he said "You need a pink smell, you just smell pinky-purple to me." After a long discussion, turns out he associates a lot of smells and colors! Fun story I thought I'd share :)

  • For those who have grapheme color synesthesia, I recently participated in a simple, online study looking for possible links between synethesia and personality. The research is through Babak Partovifar and he works with the Forest Institute. I thought that maybe some of your followers might be interested in also helping this researcher out, if he is still in need of participants. Those interested must be 18 and have grapheme color synesthesia. You can email him at bpartovifar@forest(.)edu.

  • What are some of the most common variations of synesthesia and could you explain them? I see comments that people leave but I don't always understand what it means.

Age: 22
Your types of synesthesia: Sound (music) -> color, mirror-touch, and ticker tape.
When and how did you find out about your synesthesia? It took having a friend with synesthesia in college, and realizing that the way my brain works isn’t what’s typical or how most people process the world. I had noticed these quirks before, such as associating very vivid colors with certain songs (“The Scientist” by Coldplay being pale green was one of the first I consciously recognized) or not being able to watch surgery scenes in TV shows because I experienced sympathy pains, but I didn’t know a word for it.
How does synesthesia affect you in a positive light? It makes me feel unique, and it makes listening to music a very colorful experience. It also makes it easier for me to remember how to spell words.
How does synesthesia affect you in a negative light? It is so rare and hard to believe, I constantly worry that people will think I am lying or try “testing” me to prove it to themselves. (Did I mention I also suffer from generalized anxiety, and second-guessing everything I believe about myself or assuming that people will doubt what I say is something I do all the time?) Plus, it can be really hard to talk to someone and text at the same time. Too many letters!
What type of synesthesia would you love to have for a day? I am fine with the kinds I have. Much more would be sensory overload. But idk, I guess taste -> color would be fun.
How do you explain your synesthesia to non-synnies? It’s like my brain is wired funny, and it automatically associates certain colors with certain songs without me consciously telling it to. I dunno, I haven’t really had to explain it to many people. They either pick up the concept really quickly, or they have another friend with synesthesia who explained it to them before I could.

    One of my favorite songs from my favorite albums of all time, and it has synesthesia hints, since the song mentions that the main character plays by sense of smell :)
