I went to see a concert for orchestra and marimba (or xylophone - can't remember) many years ago, and the soloist was a deaf chick whose name I forgot. In an interview in the paper earlier the same day she was asked how she 'heard' the music, and she said she mostly senses the vibrations in her ... uhm ... private parts.
My mind wasn't on the music at all that night, I was dreaming of being a bass note.

synaesthesia is old news surely ???
i dont 'suffer' (or are blessed - depending on your point of view) from it but i do have a view ... i have no sense of smell but i understand that smell is the sense most directly linked to memory (many people describe how a particular scent can trigger extremely vivid memories) ... obviously this cant be true for me but the brain is a clever sod when it comes to rewiring and instead i have an uncanny ability on hearing a particular song to remember very specifically what i was doing the last time i heard it ...
... i guess my point is that in light of this is that synaesthesia isnt THAT surprising or extraordinary ... just an extrapolation of the sensory integration that we all have ...

I had a lot of names for it over the years but I must admit I've never called it a "sub woofer"omalley wrote:Ever put your girlfriend on your sub woofer?Hovmod wrote:... and she said she mostly senses the vibrations in her ... uhm ... private parts.
