The Man Who Tastes Shapes
Some people see, taste, hear and feel things the rest of us don 't. James Wannerton tastes words: "New York is regular eggs. London is extremely lumpy mashed potatoes. "Carol Steen sees every letter with a color:" Z is the color of beer, a light ale. "
For Carol Crane, music is felt: "I always feel guitars on my ankles and violins on my face." Other people experience smells when exposed to shapes, or hear sounds inside taste. And for some, numbers have color, sounds have smell, and words have taste. Music is not only heard, it is seen and tasted – the list goes on.
Neurologist Richard Cytowic explores this surreal world "Synesthesia" in his book, "The Man who tasted shapes." Synesthesia means joined sensation and some people are born with two or more of their senses are hooked together, "explains Cytowic.
The most common form of Synesthesia is when a person looks letters in different colors instead of seeing black ink letters as black. Although people are different from each other in what colors the letters are, the colors usually remain the same for each single throughout their lives.
Depending on what food they taste, other synesthetes experience taste as a shape as a triangle or a circle. Another person sees orange when feeling pain.
For New York artist Carol Steen, is Synesthesia inspiration. She sees shapes and colors when listening to music or receive acupuncture pictures that she transforms into works of art. "It's like putting on sunglasses and be able to see the world through sunglasses," she says. Once, when Steen injured leg while walking, all she saw was a world bathed in orange.
And Carol Crane does more than simply hear a concert. She physically experiences each instrument in a second part of her body.
Still another person hears a sound that tastes like pickles. As long as he can remember, words triggered the part of Wannerton's brain, who meets the taste and aroma. "I remember being in a big school assembly hall listening to the Lords Prayer," he says, "and it was while listening to that I used to get flavor after flavor coming in. It was mostly bacon. "
Wannerton says his Synesthesia causes him some discomfort in his personal life. "I have had girlfriends with names I could not stand to say. Tracey is a very strong flavor name and the puff pastry. When I was in her company, that's what I thought of the whole time. "And at the end of the day, he suffers from sensory overload. But he does not want a cure." I've had it since I can remember, and take it away, I would not like idea
it, "he says.
What happens Inside the Synesthete's Brain?
Dr. Vilyanur Ramachandran, a neurologist who studies eccentricities in the brain, was scanning the brain of McAllister, a man who sees music. During imaging, the music played stimulates not only McAllister's audio cortex, but also his visual cortex. "The
visual area lit up at him, "says Ramachandran," so you know there was neurological activity in the visual region of his brain, although he was only listening to music. "McAllister describes it as a" Fantasia-like experience: explosions of color all over. A bright flash of lavender getting dimmer and dimmer, we're going over a pink staircase, some lavender violins. It looks very beautiful. "
This is all the more surprising as McAllister is blind! He lost his sight when he was 12, which is the result of a degenerative eye disease. But he has never lost its Synesthesia.
Are we all born with the United Sensations?
Although scientists can prove Synesthesia exist physiologically, they still do not know what causes it. Some researchers believe cross-wiring in the brain producing phenomenon. Another theory is that everyone is born with Synesthesia, that we, as infants, experience the world as a jumble of interwoven sensations. So, as most of us mature, our physical senses slowly becoming distinct and sharply defined, the images brought into focus by a camera lens. In synesthetes this separation does not happen.
For some people think synesthetic perceptions that exist outside the body. Carrie Schultz describes how she sees electric guitar riffs in purple swirls that envelop her.
For other is the inner consciousness of their "inner eye." When Glenda Larcombe hears a truck backup makes a beep-beep-beep sound, she looks beeps as a series of red dots.
The mixing of senses is often difficult for synesthetes to describe. Larcombe, for example, said the red dots she sees when she hears beeping are not a part of her actual vision. "It's not like I would see a red dot in front of me, it's in my mind eye," she says in an interview. She also reports feeling her interviewer's voice, "like a wave of water, with yellow and orange."
Ex-journalist, Page Getz says "God is blue." She describes headache pain as a kind of greenish-orange, the music of rock band Nirvana to have taste or sense of Dr. Pepper, and the color after sex as static silver. She completes its work as a journalist because her editors' word changes often upset by what she saw as a phrase natural chromatic progression.
All Nations Got Blended Senses to a Degree
Psychologist Carol Mills says that the sensory-blending ability could be a normal part of adult brains. "It can go further in our all, although we do not have Synesthesia, "said Mills." For
example, if I give you a very shrill note and a range of colors and asks you to match a, To select a light color. If I give you a low bass note, you probably would choose a dark color. The difference is when a synesthete hears a low note, they look dark. When they hear a high note, they see a light color. "
No firm figures exist for how common Synesthesia is. The best estimates range from 1 in of 200 to 1 in 20,000 people.
