People with Synesthesia experience a consistent, involuntary, elicited sensory impression in one sense or category in response to a triggering input from a different, unrelated sense or category. Consistent means the same trigger always causes the same sensory impression. Involuntary means it happens automatically, without the person's imagining it or willing it to happen. Some synesthetes are able to ignore or suppress their impressions, however. Synesthesia may seem stronger or weaker under different physical and emotional circumstances (stress, fatigue, illness, etc.)
Triggers most commonly are letters or numbers, musical pitches or sounds, time units such as years, months or days of the week, tastes, smells, touch, pain, etc.A specific trigger consistently produces a specific sensory impression, such as a perception of color, texture, taste or shape. Most synesthetes describe very specific colors, textures, pressure sensations, etc. for their associated impressions. These stay the same throughout their lives. Every synesthete has a different set of associated impressions from every other synesthete.
1 in 23 people have it. It is common. Unfortunately, the majority of synesthetes (people with synesthesia) don't realize they have it because the symptoms are so minor, they think it happens to everybody, or they just have never heard of it.
There is no scientific evidence suggesting that people with synesthesia use more of their brain than those without it. Synesthesia is believed to involve cross-activation between different areas of the brain, rather than an overall increase in brain activity.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that cats have synesthesia, a condition where one sensory experience triggers another, such as seeing colors when hearing sounds.
Yes, synesthesia is a real neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. This can manifest as seeing colors when hearing music or tasting flavors when seeing numbers.
Synesthesia is a phenomenon where one sensation, such as hearing a sound, can evoke multiple perceptions, such as seeing colors. This mixing of senses occurs in the brain, leading to the unusual sensory experiences that people with synesthesia report.
No, those aren't "symptoms." They're correlated with synesthesia, but they don't suggest that you should have it. Anyway, if it's any consolation, you don't have synesthesia because your brain developed normally.
Someone who has synesthesia sees colours in numbers, letters, sound, or other things. There are many different types. Some people with synesthesia feel sounds, see pictures in names, believe numbers have personality, and many more things. You can take a free synesthesia test on synesthete.org . Something else is that the symptoms never change. say that if somebody smells cherries when they see the number 5. He or she will always smell cherries when they see the number 5 it will never change.
yes he does. he has lexical synesthesia

Synesthesia in Tagalog is "sinesestesiya." It is a sensory phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers an involuntary experience in another sense.

Synesthesia is not a symptom of anything, simply a harmless condition of the brain that people are born with.
Approximately 4 of the population has synesthesia, a neurological condition where senses are interconnected.

Synesthesia can be a symptom of hallucinogens or sleep deprivation, but otherwise would be very unlikely spontaniously.
One person in every 23 has one form of synesthesia or another. Around 1 in 90 have grapheme → color synesthesia where letters and numbers are tinged with color.
