Thought to post a thread in regards to an article I came across in pertain to a condition of Synaesthesia, or dominate functioning from the right side of the brain. In total, it’s the culmination of memories/notions/untouchable themes (headed off by any or all senses) that becomes a definition, always locked together as an association (which becomes the object itself in question). This isn’t rare in most train of thoughts, but in this case the reaction to a “launch pad,” which can be absolutely anything perceived, is overpowering and recognizable as these alternate ideas that get looped into another.
It becomes more tangible when you bring language into the link of things. For example (taken from the article): “...the almost universal agreement, amongst those who bear this ability, is that "O" has a brown texture and "I" has a whitish hue.”
It’s known there is a portion of the human brain which acts like a system operator for all of the incoming 5 senses and that some information moves quietly through (as though dialing the wrong number per say) thus reason why some people who "see" the color red when they hear an E minor chord, or "see" the color yellow when the smell the scent of apple pie being baked.
I feel it’s started by visual learning aids we’re given when our brain is still being “wired” up. This mindset could be fueled by this simplistic way of taking on the world (everything coming together in sensations and immediate direction), a way of memorizing that slowly expands by habit and groundwork into heightened conditions of everything around us.
The article is bellow for further thought as to what I am referring to; however in short I am curious if anyone has similar patterns.
