SugyPie asked more about synaesthesia...

Hello SugyPie,

How are you ?

Synaesthesia is a phenomenom thought to happen at first in 1
person out of 500 000, then in 1 out of 100 000. Now it is
thought to me much more common than previously established.

It is a mixing of senses, just like in drugs, as described
by Aldous Huxley in his later books (Heaven and Hell, Doors
of Perception).

For example when you see a lump of sugar, which is white,
you may feel that the color white is linked to other senses
and :

- this white is smelling like smoke
- it feels rounded
- it sounds like a bell

So the stimulation of one sense raises other sensations in
other senses.

This was first described by the russian scientist Luria, and
his book, 'Mind of a mnemonist', went around the world.

People who have synaesthesia have to face the difficulty of
managing it : too much input at a time. Often they have an
ideitic memory that is a kind of 'total recall' (this mater
alone is believed to be 1 person out of 2 000). They
generally dont speak of it because they think that
'everybody is like them'.

It is most frequent in young children and they lose it at
adolescence, most of the time.

Some use it to express a 'super brain'. Among them, with the
'total recall', Gauss, Euler, Tesla, Von Neumann, etc.

I'd be glad to learn more about it if you have
documentation.

Froggy (poor memory) Jacques
