Notes: What Is Synaesthesia?

Jul 03, 2008 13:33

Synaesthesia could be a little difficult to understand: here's some extra info about it.

From Dictionary.com:


  1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

  2. A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.

  3. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.



Online articles:

'I can see sounds' - from BBC.co.uk

Synaesthesia - from the BBC's h2g2 encyclopedia

What Wikipedia.org has to say about it

Finally, an article about Justin Lassen, a musician, producer and composer who translates what he experiences through synaesthesia into music. He's on Livejournal too!

I hope it helped ^_^
