What is Synesthesia?
Continued from Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.
What is Synesthesia? You might actually be able to “taste” that word on the tip of your tongue, if you suffer from synesthesia. The condition causes normally separate senses to mingle, allowing people to tastes words, hear colors or see sound.
A study by the University of Edinburgh in Scotland found people reported taste sensations with words ranging from buttered toast to earwax.
One person in the study tasted words 100 percent of the time, while others only tasted them 15 percent of the time. Scientists don’t know yet how synesthesia happens.
