Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In simple words, it is the confusion between the sense, as when musical notes are experienced as colored.

Is synesthesia annoying?
Asked by Bret366
NO! I don't have it but from talking to people who do most people find it enjoyable. & don't find having it.
I have synesthesia, and it is almost helpful to me. My friend was pregnant with a boy, and when she asked me for a name, I found one that sounded sweet and yellow (good) and gave it to her. She loved it. A few other accounts were made easier, but all in all, it is not annoying AT ALL.
I don't know. Sometimes it gets to me because I will start thinking about the colors rather then the words.
Synesthetes often experience their sensations from birth or early childhood, may have strong emotional responses to things that trigger their synesthesia, and often feel synesthetic experiences are pleasant. They do NOT consider this trait to be a disability, but think of it as an added bonus to their normal sensory perceptions. Many synesthetes are surprised to learn, during childhood or adulthood, that not everyone senses the world the same way as they perceive it.

Is it hard to sleep with Synesthesia?
Asked by Wiki User
Not at all. Synesthesia has no disadvantages other than a synesthete doesn't know what it is like to percieve things normally. Synesthesia will only enhance sleep if anything. I should know - I am one lol.
I'm not saying that the above isn't true. however, i think that it would be a matter of opinion.
How does the brain interpret color when you have synesthesia?
Asked by Wiki User
Can you clarify this question a little? If you mean how do synesthetes see colors of things such as trees, toys, cars, and so on, then the answer is normally. Synesthesia does not change the colors of the outside world. So a synesthete will see the same green car that a non-synesthete will see.
Synesthetes will see colors to things that non-synesthetes will see no color. For example, a piece of music will have color to a music-color synesthete. In this regard, synesthetic colors are normal colors with the exceptions that (1) some colors will seem to be mixed together but still separate at the same time (such as a number being both blue and red at the same time - but notpurple!) or (2) some colors cannot be described (such as a mixture of two colors that one doesn't normally see) or don't seem to be in existence anywhere in the outside world.
What are facts about synesthesia?
Asked by Wiki User
Synesthesia is a comparatively rare phenomena or condition that is reported to occur in 1 in every 500 to 25,000 people. Synesthesia facts suggest that this condition is found more in females as compared to males. The male is to female ratio is said to be at 5:1. The word synesthesia has its roots in Greek literature and means dual or joined senses. Synesthesia facts can tell you that synesthetes may have new approaches to sounds and colors than a normal human being. They may associate color with music and smell with images. There are many proved facts and examples of synesthesia occurrences and scientists are at present engaged to find out more about the condition and how it can be used to solve many mysteries.
