I have several other types of syn, but I have noticed that when I hear sound it has a color. I do not actually see it like with my taste>color but it is constant. Most people's voices are beige or gray, but music is all sorts of colors. Am I going crazy or is this syn?

Hello Anon,

Yes, this is a type of synesthesia.  A person’s syn falls into one of two categories; Associator or Projector. 

A projected synesthetic reaction is when the synnie actually sees/hears/etc the reaction.  This would be your taste>color.

An associative synesthectic reaction is when a synesthectic response is just in their mind space.  This would be your sound>color.

There are lots of resources on this and if you would like to know more we would be happy to recommend some.

Can we have the downtown shopping area speakers only play music that matches the weather?

Absolutely!  We now have a series of spotify playlists for different types of weather.  If you would like to add songs to these playlists, let us know.  Also, if the specific playlists do not match your expectations you can go to the blue library and pick up an mp3 player which you can fill with more specifically tailored playlists.

Hey I just discovered this page and I have a question! Do you know if associating colors with personalities could be related to what people refer to as seeing auras? I’ve been trying to figure out why I see colors for certain people and no one else does… Some have suggested to me that I see auras, but I’m just now making the connection that it could also be related to my synesthesia, (I have color to sound as well).

It has been theorized that emotional synesthesia may be the cause of the phenomenon known as Auras.  (*)  Both answers are correct, but synesthesia is considered to be the cause of the phenomenon, while auras are the non-scientific explanation.  

I am so glad you have discovered us, and we hope to be hearing more from you in the future.

Excuse me but I dislike the red elevator music. Is it possible to change it to green?

Absolutely!  We try to make accommodations for all of our students.

Synesthesia + Tea = Delish Geeky Art!

[friday-tea]

So something very cute about lexical-gustatory synesthesia is that when a word escapes you or a concept is tricky to explain, you can just bake someone a little treat or blend up a special tea microbatch and then be like "here, taste this, it will explain everything."

My friend smells like autumn and moonlight, with hints of purple and the sound of electricity.

That is a beautiful description.  A great many of my friends are purple too.  I’ve found that they are some of the most easygoing people that I know.
