Thread: Visual thinker task, can you do it!

Really? You're synethesia? Thats awesome =D Does it ever seem to get in the way? Well.. I guess you can't realy compare to what it would be like without it..

^ will the 5s and 2s in there pop out with different colors?

Anyways, about him seeing "landscapes". when he thinks of numbers. Can you see landscapes normally? Perhaps if you could, you might be able to see them when you think of numbers. But I have no idea how it works so i don't really know =O

it doesn't get in the way, i didn't even know about it for a long time. (actually on the contrary i think it helps me remember some things). a friend of mine was talking about it in an IM conversation and i realized i "see" a different colour for every letter and number. i don't actually see it, i just know it. at first i thought i was the type that saw colours for music, because i noticed once that i saw a different colour for certain songs. that was when i listened to CDs in a CD player (oldschool, haha). but i figured out it was the track number and not the music.

as for the picture, the 5's are orange to me and the 2's are yellow, but i don't think i could point out the triangle any faster than a non-synesthete. i think it's more obvious to some people with it.

and i doubt i could ever see what Daniel Tammet sees. it wouldn't come to me naturally anyway. i just see a colour, that's all.
