Fun with Synesthesia.
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2010 9:37 am
So, I'm currently enjoying a lot of theoretical talk and would like to share some whimsy with everyone here.
Synesthesia is a mental condition where sensory input is confused between senses. Wiki will have a better explanation but you'll probably have heard the stories about some people who hear or taste in colours instead of sounds or flavours. That's what I'm talking about, and that's what I'd like to hear.
Pick a sensation, and try and imagine how you'd interpret it in another way. For instance in my opinion bananas do taste yellow, whereas apples taste more pink.
The texture of polished wood tastes like pineapple juice.
You get the idea. Have fun!
