My lightning bolts are looking thin, translucent and a little sparkly today.
Come to think of it they are more like waves. #synaesthesia

Viele Synästheten sind sich der Besonderheit ihrer Wahrnehmung selbst nicht bewusst und erkennen ihre Synästhesie erst, wenn man sie darauf aufmerksam macht. Daher gibt es eine entsprechende Dunkelziffer.

Some #musicians have #PerfectPitch. Some even have #Synaesthesia. Lucky blighters.

I wonder what would happen if some #mathematicians have a similar neurological and perceptual super powers. But then, mathematicians do possess highly developed visualisation abilities and intuitions, which might well be called super powers.
