Another video that I found very interesting was "Seeing Sound and Tasting Color". This video was interesting to me because I didn't know that it was possible for the five senses to combine like this. The combining of senses is called Synesthesia. For example, people with this have the ability to taste a color. This means that when a color is presented before them such as blue this person might experience a cool minty taste in their mouth. This sensation occurs just because of the color and not because there is something in their mouth.

I also found the seeing sound and tasting video to be very interesting. I actually went on and watched other suggested videos on that topic which were really cool, some of them were more scientific than others, and some were just famous youtubers trying to figure it out. None the less I learned more about this subject. I don't think any of us can really understand how it works because we can't experience it. Did you see any videos of people that actually had this happening to them.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, it is so cool that sensation and perception both caught our eye's in this week's lesson. Literally. The images of the street art that you chose to use in this blog of yours were perfect examples of perception. The art looks so real it is unbelievable. I had didn't realize that the combining of senses is called synesthesia, I guess you really do learn something every day. Very good job on this blog post!
