Imagine a world in which you hear colors. Or maybe you feel
music in your skin. Perhaps you taste sounds. If these kinds of
experiences sound familiar, you may be one of the few people with a
Line
unique sensory condition called “synesthesia.”
5
Sharing the same root as the word “anesthesia,” meaning “no
sensation,” “synesthesia” means “joined sensation.” It’s a condition
in which the stimulation of one sense (for example, taste) stimulates
a totally different sense, like sight. Consequently, individuals with
synesthesia (about one in every 27 people) have “mixed senses.”
10
People with synesthesia might hear sounds in response to smell,
experience a smell in response to touch, or feel something in response
to sight. One of the most common forms of synesthesia is seeing
letters and numbers in different colors. For example, a synesthete (a
person with synesthesia) might see the letter “T” as always colored in
15
blue, or the number “4” as dark brown. Once a form of synesthesia is
established in childhood, these associations remain fixed for life.
Scientists who study synesthesia use brain scanning technology
to show that the brains of synesthetes are “wired” differently than
people without the condition. According to research, synesthesia
20
occurs when areas of the brain that process different senses (such as
color, sound, or taste) are “cross-wired.” So for a synesthete who
perceives colors when hearing words, the part of the brain involved
with vision activates in response to sound.
One of the most fascinating aspects of synesthesia is that
25
everybody who experiences it does so differently. No two
synesthetes share the same associations. For instance, one synesthete
may see the number “9” colored purple while another synesthete
may see “9” as bright red. In this way, synesthesia provides insight
into how each of us perceive and experience the world uniquely.
