Other than that one ...Your concerts sound gorgeous. Other than that one show I attended, I haven't had other synesthetic experiences. However I have successfully used post-hypnotic suggestion with clients to have them more 'alert' to particular colors or sensations. At one point I had a couple of musician friends who wanted me to experiment with artificially 'inducing' synesthesia, hypnotically, to see how it would affect their experience of playing and composing. Something I want to pick up again at some point. <BR/><BR/>If anyone is reading and curious about participating, email neuromaggio@gmail.com.simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005864775903955006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931544233872226052.post-6303399520896034582007-11-22T23:16:00.000-08:002007-11-22T23:16:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.malta kanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628579848015483967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931544233872226052.post-11148098718445301952007-11-22T09:14:00.000-08:002007-11-22T09:14:00.000-08:00How fascinating!I can see how that might be rather...How fascinating!<BR/>I can see how that might be rather unsettling! :-)<BR/><BR/>I've never gotten a real strong sound-> taste reaction--only once in a while, and it's fairly weak.<BR/>But everything you can think of is in color for me.<BR/>I go to concerts and watch all the pretty colors and patterns the music makes.KLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584542479690623625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931544233872226052.post-73202613022448323782007-11-21T23:43:00.000-08:002007-11-21T23:43:00.000-08:00That's great!

More research seems to point to heredity (see new post 'fusiform gyrus'). <BR/><BR/>About 10 years ago I attended an experimental music concert where the musicians had invented instruments that employed microtones. When one tone was hit my mouth would fill with the taste of tangerines & when another tone was played my mouth filled with the taste of blood. I actually ran out of the room terrified that I'd ruptured something. Have been fascinated by synesthesia ever since.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments!simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005864775903955006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931544233872226052.post-90331005721318732262007-11-21T11:32:00.000-08:002007-11-21T11:32:00.000-08:00Well, my older brothers both have synesthesia too,...Well, my older brothers both have synesthesia too, to a smaller extent than I do.<BR/>One day I mentioned something about it to one of them, and he told me that it was called synesthesia, and that not everyone saw things the same way. I was rather shocked that not everyone had it. :-)KLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584542479690623625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931544233872226052.post-63006277103285394482007-11-21T11:26:00.000-08:002007-11-21T11:26:00.000-08:00Thx for the comment.
