Edit;

Now the boring bit, sorry!

In a strange twist of synchronicity, mother of divine Jaysus posted something today after I'd been playing with these lips pix. They had me thinking of my perceptual kinks.

 

Synaesthesia in it's basic form is a perceptual aberration, not a malfunction, and not associated with manic behaviours. However, those predisposed to the latter can also exhibit synaesthesia. It is thought to be a re-wiring of the brain, a slightly different development of neural responses than the norm. Can be a hindrance for some and a help for others, for me it's both and neither!

Some famous people who have/had some form of synaesthesia;

Wassily Kandinsky,David Hockney,Vladimir Nabokov,Jimi Hendrix, Duke Ellington, Pharrell Williams, John Mayer ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPOBMzMTP4U love this track! ), Vincent Van Gogh, Piet Mondrian and Rene Magritte to name a few..

 

David Tammett, a high-functioning autistic savant notably wrote an autobiography Born on a Blue Day. The title is an illustration of his synaesthesia (grapheme type which Nabokov had, and which is the type I have also.).
