Re: [microsound] synethesia?

[Mike Hallenbeck <junior@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, a stimulus activates a sense other than that for which it was
intended. I think I have it, at least mildly-- all my life certain pitches
and timbres have had color associations for me, and I finally realized
that not everyone saw a D as yellow, C as red, etc.

One new theory is that certain neurons don't fully separate before you're
you're born, so the message is sent through two neurons at once. (I
paraphrase, forgive me if my vocab is wrong-- not a science person)
