whoa i just had a profound experience of "synesthesia"

[zanejohnson]

walked by the kitchen, there was a can of jalepenos sitting on the end (opened, cleaned out, we recycle and put cans on the end of the counter to be bagged and put in recycling)

i literally smelt jalepenos like the can had just been opened.. so badass!!!

[shortylickens]

You tryin to quit entirely?

well for that reason, and because it's possibly causing me to have a neurological condition lol..


yeah i'm already off the cigs completely, just stepped down to the from the 18mg/ml to the 11mg/ml refills too !!

Dude that's not synesthesia.

Synesthesia is when you conflate two different senses or assign sounds, colors, tastes to things that don't have them.

For example my wife has colors associated with all her letters and days of the week. So her A's are always yellow.

This. It might be hallucination.

Synesthesia is seeing sound, smelling color, etc...

 

[zanejohnson]

well shit, i did whatever you do when you see something and smell it (or i guess your memory of it triggers your smell sense)

 

[zanejohnson]

i'm gonna chalk it up to "a glitch in the matrix"

that is not synesthesia. it is something that everyone experiences at one time or another--olfactory memory or something like that.

thinking about your grandfather suddenly inundates you with the clear sent of sawdust.

That happens to me all the time. Quite often I invent flavors for stuff I've seen but haven't tasted. For instance I'm totally convinced that porridge is delicious from seeing it and having my mind's manufactured "porridge flavor" suddenly appear in my mouth. It probably doesn't taste anything like I imagine it to, so I figure it's best to never taste or smell it if I can help it.

Edit: Yeah that's not synesthesia. It's a sensory hallucination of some sort.

hehe porridge that's funny stuff!

i've never had it either, but it does taste good!!

i can't manufacture that in my taste hole though? i guess because i haven't had it... the one earlier was profound though, it was like my nose hairs almost could even feel the burning of the jap flavor.

Of all the senses, the olfactory sense has the strongest connection to memory.
