I've read a bit about Synesthesia. As http://web.mit.edu/synesthesia/www/synesthesia.html puts it "Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information of one sense is accompanied by a perception in another sense." For instance, a person who "suffers" from this, can see certain colors triggered by certain sounds, or s/he associates colors with certain letters or numbers. It is hard for me to imagine what that must be like, as a non-synesthetic. At least, that's what I think I am. Now I'm wondering if there may be anything like that. It's back to the school days, wondering what the world would be like, if my color green is not your color green ... how maybe your coke is not my black, but my purple, and would I want to drink it if it was actually purple? Confused? So am I. A more scientific account can be found at http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v2/psyche-2-10-cytowic.html.
