synesthesia does not exist. It is impossible to recieve data
through a sense organ that was not designed for that sense
organ. You can, say, FEEL sound waves when you really
increase the bass, but this is still feeling, not hearing.
What happens is association. For example the sun is yellow
and how. So when you see yellow, you think "hot". etc.

I've got that issue, same one with the talk of infinite
parallel universes. It's very interesting, makes you think
about the nature of sensory perseptions which we take for
granted, and why we are made to percieve different sences in
the specific ways that we do.

Yeah i have read about that stuff before.
Some scientists belive that the human race is developing a
sixth sense and that in a very distant future we will
comunicate less with words and more with colours and stuff.

i don't know what to think...

and masturbate every night the naked pictures of R2D2

your assumption that it is about RECEIVING data is wrong, I
think.
its all about the PROCESSING of the data - in other words,
the brain translates the incoming data wrongly.

see, I disagree with that... I think it is possible...
because, the brain is what interprets the senses... the
sense receptors, like taste buds, our eyes, etc, just
receive the sense... the brain interprets it all... thus, I
feel that it is possible for senses to kind of get mixed up
like this...

well taste is an obvious uh, unique specialist in data
reception. how are you going to hear sound in your taste
buds? so you're saying you can PROCESS taste so that you
interpret it as, like yellow or somthing? I want to read a
lot about brains. They have been getting more and more
fascinating to meesh.

plus there are lobes for specific senses, like the parietal
lobes for hearing. I'm no expert though.

data is just data. its nothing untill it gets interpreted.

lol yes synesthesia does exist.. it doesn't involve
recieving sensory input from an organ thats not supposed to
send it

it happens in your brain

maybe you should find out what it is before you go around
telling people it doesn't exist...

btw i think the article mentions that LSD can temporarily
cause something like synesthesia

does anyone know if shrooms have been known too?
i guess its hard to tell if whatever effect those drugs
have, if its genuinely synesthesia... ppl would have to do
LSD in laboratories :)

I doubt you know enough about it to know for sure that it
does exist, so there.

"so there" lol

well for all we know its all an elaborate hoax...

how much would i personally have to know before im allowed
to be sure?

btw have you actually read the article yet?
im assuming you haven't read anything else about it
considering you dont even know what it is...

i have had this kind of experience on LSD but not mushrooms.
however i have done much more LSD than shrooms and not
every time i did LSD did i experience synesthesia.

One experience on LSD was when i was about 2 or 3 hours into
a pretty hefty dose and we were drinking rum. Every time i
tasted the rum i would hear this high pitch
squeeling/ringing in.
i never drank rum with mushrooms.

synaesthesia can occur as a result of certain brain
disorders, also, but it is not uncommon for a normal,
healthy person to experience this. for example, every now
and again when i am going to sleep, but while still awake, a
sharp sound in the darkness and silence will trigger a flash
of light in my visual field.

Mushrooms produce this effect only when combined with
marijuana.

Yeah, especially if I have headphones on this happens. If
i'm going to sleep listening to music and a song fades out
and then is silent for a time, and then the next song starts
abruptly and loudly, colors sometimes flash in my field of
vision, mostly if I'm not expecting it.
