Explanation:
The number “6” is a bright shade of pink. Listening to a cello smells like chocolate. And eating a slice of pizza creates a tickling sensation on the back of your neck.
If you have experiences like this, you may be one of the special people with an unusual sensory condition. It is known as synesthesia (pronounced Sin-uhs-THEE-zha).
People with synesthesia experience a “blending” of their senses when they see, smell, taste, touch or hear. Such people have specially wired brains. As a result, when something trkggers one of the five senses, another sense also responds. This blending can cause people to see sound, smell colors or taste shapes.
