Stupid brain tricks.

Someone else had made a video of their associations of personalities, genders, and colors with numbers, and I replied with a video response of colored letters and numbers:

Be aware that synaesthesia tends to be way more fascinating to synaesthetes than non-synaesthetes, so the video might for all I know be very boring to most people. Synaesthesia usually has an emotional component as part of the neurological response at the time, so every time I see a letter as having a color, or a sound as having a texture, or whatever, there’s a “Wow this is really cool” response going on in my head that’s just as involuntary as the sensory association itself (and synaesthesia is involuntary, rather than consciously imaginary). So I would have trouble getting sick of watching colored letters and numbers (provided they’re the right colors — the wrong colors drive me nuts), but I don’t expect the rest of the world to find it so fascinating. Although I expect Bev will probably like it because it shows the number 8 twice.

I wish I had the animation skills to make an animation of the assorted colored lines and blobs and shapes that go with the music, too, but I’ll have to content myself with letters and numbers.
