I visualize numbers in a line, going in a particular direction.

not sure if these guys intended to call themselves synesthesia and just spelled it wrong, but anyway, it's a decent, trippy acid folk record. i know, not really related, but reminded me of it anyway.

I think everyone can experience this. Just some are permantely plagued with it... as it can be pretty hard to deal with when every single sound, 24/7, is throwing visual imagery into your brain.

Looks like so far I am the only one to connect YEARS with colours? To me:
2001 = black
2002 = white
2003 = yellow
2004 = brown
2005 = blue
2006 = orange
2007 = green
2008 = red/orange
2009 = red
2010 = white
2011 = black
2012 = white/light blue

Most of my family have synesthesia. I 'see' colours / hues when I hear noise [not often music, just noise]. My mum sees colours for letters, sentences and words - same every time. We were part of a study by Cambridge University some time ago - interesting stuff.
- really? i didnt know it was hereditary. very interesting.Hombre_Lobo
- I don't know if it is, maybe coincidence / unrecognised elsewhereAtkinson

fyi everyone with typical neurological development are synesthesiacs, its just levels of severity that separates people.
the classic example is -
imagine two shapes, one is a round bubble shape and the other is a very pointy shape
One of them is called Booboo, one of them is called KiKi. Which one is which?Such an interesting condition. I have a friend who has it severely, mainly with numbers and colors (the most common of the associations), to the point where she really really struggles with simple arithmetic, because the colors of certain numbers don't blend well together.

3 Various forms
3.1 Grapheme → color synesthesia
3.2 Sound → color synesthesia
3.3 Number form synesthesia
3.4 Personification
3.5 Lexical → gustatory synesthesia

Also.
Speaking of sound → color synesthetic perception,yesterday I met someone who designed an impressive
iPhone App called Pixound! http://www.pixound.comBasically, what the app does is translating RGB color information into musical information that you can manipulate with tons of parameters and play with.
Really fun visual & musical playground...
