Any Synaesthetics out there?

[nerica19]

Anyone hear music in colour or taste as well as sound?

I get the occasional flash of both with some pieces. Wife is a psychologist and was idly reading the British Psychological Journal over porridge this morning and read an interesting piece about the phenomenon which adds to the interest aroused by the music synaesthesia section in Oliver Sacks book Musicophilia - mentioned by Fretless in a previous post. Am tempted to go to a synaesthetic experimental dinner organised by Kitchen-Theory in London... https://kitchen-theory.com/

Interesting. I've never experienced such things with sound but I do remember seeing a very strange colour on a car once that seemed to produce a strange taste in my mouth. I've come across the colour only once or twice, it's a sort of minty, greeny, beigey nondescript sort of colour but it's the only thing that's done it.

Not me. I am one of those who gets an incessant tune running round his head after hearing it. Most times just simple pop jingles. Years ago I was inflicted with that bloody frog ring tone, it wouldn't let me go

Please no one remind me of it or it will get me again.

Yes, me too - but mine's the Laurel and Hardy tune and normally only when I'm gardening. Lots of neurological research been done about such Earworms as some people get driven properly mad by them and some hear whole orchestras incessantly playing at full volume in their heads all the time.

My affliction is a sort of tinnitus if I'm around too much Wifi or mobile phone transmitters.

I have the same problem with nagging women

Yes - but do you see strange colours or get odd tastes in your mouth as well?
