#Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sensory pathway triggers involuntary experiences in another, such as seeing colors when hearing music or tasting words.

Affecting roughly 3%–4% of the population, it is not a disease but an inherited, harmless blending of senses often described as "crossed wires" in the brain.

This may be the wildest "disorder" I've ever read about. And I put "disorder" in quotes because I think this might be a very cool thing to experience!

Quick poll because this came up on piefed:

How many of you have #synesthesia?

(Synesthesia: stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in other sensory or cognitive pathways

This often manifests as letters and numbers having specific colors in one's brain, but there are other types as well)

I have synesthesia

12%

I do not have synesthesia

76%

I do not know if I have synesthesia

Here is something I meant to do for a while, maybe even my whole life :) I have #synesthesia and I see different characters as different colors. Finally, I decided to map them out for fun. Does anyone else have this? #art #sciart

👂🌈 #Synesthesia involves a cross-wiring of senses that allows some individuals to hear #colors or taste words.

Studies indicate that between 1% and 4% of the population experiences these blended perceptions due to unique #brain structures or activity. The trait occurs significantly more often in artists and musicians than in the general population.
