    As someone who has synesthesia (the most common kind of seeing/associating music with color), it was something I never understood other people didn’t also perceive until I was in high school. So thank you so much for covering the topic, it’s always fascinating to listen to!

      I gyat questions, (If you guys dont mind answering):
      1) Where do you see the colours. Is it on the specific thing that you assosciate with that colour, does your whole sight just change hue, or is it just in your mind?
      2) What if you see something new that you don't understand.

    I think I lost my synesthesia when I got older. Because when I was a kid I would be lying in bed and when I closed my eyes, it was almost like I could feel, hear, smell, even taste the color orange. It was very strange to me back then and I kinda just thought it was normal. Now that i'm older I don't feel that was anymore and haven't for a long time. This video just reminded me of that memory.

    I see everyone is sharing their experiences so why not share mine :) Since like 1st grade, when doing math i would always see numbers to have these personalities; like 2 would have a crush on 4 while 5 is a girl and is siblings with 9. Other than seeing words, letters and numbers as distinctive colors, listening to music was always so fascinating - different parts or verses of a song would be colored differently so at the end of each song i would be left with this colorful picture in my mind. And the funny thing is some really nice songs would look so ugly and vice versa bad songs in my opinion looking really nice. Once i had a conversation with my dad about it and he related to me, he said that whenever he feels pain, he feels/sees it in 3D objects, a bruise would feel like a sphere while a headache would be a cube. This condition is really a cool wonder in this universe

Suprisingly now after 5 years whenever I replay that particular game, the sound and visuals of that game give me an illusion that I have fever.

    I have synesthesia (Chromesthesia, Auditory Tactile, Mirror Touch, Ordinal Linguistic Personification, and Olfactory Visual) (yea I know that’s a lot) where it feels as if my entire body turns into the color I’m perceiving. For the most common example, when I start to make or listen to music, it feels like my body has turned into a rainbow disco ball and I feel the different energies flowing through my body and I can manipulate it around with my will. When I look at people I can read them like a book and I see their colors. Every experience I’m involved in I experience through a 4d perspective.

    Thank you for this video! Until few years ago I thought I was just crazy, but I've discovered that many people I know have had similar experiences with sensory overlap in this way. Numbers don't have strong colors to me, but letters very much do and the letter A is always red, and the letter g (especially the lower case) is always a strange greenish burnt yellow - maybe curry like? Music has colors too, and emotions have sounds - and sometimes color. Stress is a repeated slow yet complex drum beat that changes in intensity - and the sound refuses to go away until stress is relieved. Pain is rasping high pitched noise and it is blinding white - it can leave a metallic taste in my mouth, even when I know I'm not bleeding anywhere. I have observed that most of the people I know who actually recognizes synesthesia are smart and creative - and all of them have a psychiatric diagnose, but are well functioning in general. I'm a computer scientist, a hobby astrophotographer and I have ADHD. The human mind is fascinating ....

This varies from song to song and whether its a happy or sad song. Every song has its own, unique, “landscape”.

Thus, every time I play with the new skin in League of Legends my performance is getting worse for a week or so. I remember once Caitlynn got new legendary skin (sound effects changed) and I couldn’t help but perceive my shooting as extremely thin, thus, getting anxious about not being precise enough (even though the mechanics of the game never changed)

    I have synesthesia. I associate sounds, music, words, letters, and ideas with pictures- but not just a picture of the thing. For instance, my brain produces abstract images to go with certain synthesisers I might hear in music and words. The word “dog” looks like a long wooden piece on top of a red block in a bright but blurry environment. It’s usually very realistic looking, these pictures. The word “bill” looks like a red baseball cap, but the word “cap” looks like the blue garbage bin outside my grandparents’ house. These pictures also help me remember words and sounds. It doesn’t matter if the picture doesn’t look like the actual thing, because my brain puts them together automatically. Thanks to my synesthesia, I compose music better and I use it in my drawings too. And most of the pictures stay the same forever. My brain made pictures when I was a small child and they’re still the same now for the most part. And until relatively recently, I thought all this was normal.
    So anyway this is a very interesting video because it conveys well what it’s like to have this. Well done :>

On the other hand, when I try to play guitar or try to make art, I find it incredibly difficult even though I know people who can draw the first thing they think of in a matter of minutes.

I guess if I would have to put it into words, I'm able to split things into a list of processes and algorithms in my mind, and when those processes are set, any problem becomes easier. For example, when I was recently learning about Lagrange Multipliers in Differential Equations, what helped me solve those types of problems was the fact to you can always split them into smaller parts. I know that most everyone does this when they work on problems, but I believe that it comes easier for me, as I rarely need to spend any significant time studying math-related concepts.

    I use it to my advantage when writing music as I can create a nice sounding picture and synergy between the colours and music. However it can also be a curse as it can be hard to work with ugly colours/sounds and there’s always a tendency to lean towards pretty colours/sounds.
    I prefer a blank plain white wall in a studio as colours can influence me and cause confusion creatively.

    very interesting topic, i have always believe music was never meant to listen rather to feel and express your deepest thoughts and feelings. Being a cook for the past 5 years it is true every time i taste something it associates with a color or a feeling of sum sort stimulating sensation based upon my recollective memories.

    I have synesthesia and it's really cool to see this topic getting covered more! To me numbers, letters, days of the week and months all have colors, genders, personalities, and interactions with one another. When playing the piano, the physical notes on the keyboard also have colors, gender and personalities and when playing a piece, the order the notes are played in will have the notes interact with each other and therefore create stories, so for example often G will be a bit of a bully and whenever I play this note a lot it will make me feel quite anxious. Music will also have colors and shapes, although i can't really see them, it's more of a strong sensation that THIS is the color and it's so obvious, and I see the shape in my mind's eye. When people speak, I also visualize their words in my mind, so whenever there's a word I don't know the spelling of, it gets real annoying haha.

    Now that I think about it get this thing were I can sometimes feel ideas and feel sounds. Unpleasant, sounds give me an an unpleasant tingling feeling can best equate to an odd vibratory and prickly sensation, and ideas that I "resonate" with actually come with an odd, but pleasant tactile sensations at the front of my head and around my face and revelations send "chills down my spine". Maybe it's related, but I couldn't say because I am not an expert on the matter.

    Pretty sure i have multiple types of synesthesia, but never researched specifically what each are called.
    I have the one where i associate colors strongly to numbers, a bit less to letters but still present. I hear sound in colours too, so if i listen to a violin piece each vibration/tone is a different hue. Its like a graph of colors moving from warm to cold. I also associate colors with people, and by extension numbers to people aswell. These rarely change per person, only if something major happened to them that'd change their behaviour etc. I also haven't known it was not normal until secondary level education, i always thought everyone just saw others in colours. Really enjoyed the video!

    I see musical melodies as a sort of moving graph chart. With a glowing point that moves up and down to hit each approaching note and they slide in horizontally. Almost like a guitar hero kind of thing. My memory of melodies is incredibly accurate. Even in things like guitar solos because of this kind of visualization. I’ve always seen melodies in my head like this. Even before these games existed. It also reminds me of old visual audio read outs on a computer. Where you have a little bar that jumps up or down depending on the notes or intensity of the music. Like that but with a point instead of a bar. And with the sensation of the approaching notates flowing in from the right to the to the left. I’m also a skilled guitar player, as well as a singer with accurate pitch, and this and helped me.

    Sunday, green, like Wednesday.
    Oddly, no colour for Tuesday. Maybe because it's a pretty meaningless day, languishing amid the others. Even Wednesday gets to be called Top of the Hill...

    i have grapheme color synesthesia! for me, every word, letter, number, etc. has it’s own color, and sometimes even personalities! i never realized it wasn’t normal until i started asking people what color each letter of the alphabet was, and they all said “what? they’re letters, they don’t have color.”
    for example, 5 is light blue. he (yes they have genders) is pretty nice, is really good friends with 4, but even better friends with 6. he HATES 8 and 8 HATES 5. i think that may have came from me having difficulty adding 8 and 5 together since i was little.
