RE: [Hornlist] Re: Synesthesia
I was diagnosed with Synesthesia about 26 years ago. In my case it was quite uninteresting; I saw bright flashes of light upon sudden noises, such as doors shutting, etc. After about 2 years it went away. I had a lot of other symptoms though too at the time, such as hallucinations (in various sensory areas), and while I was living in France some of the neurologists there described the syndrome as 'artistic hypersensitivity.' Others thought I had a brain tumor. In the end, it was the artistic sensitivity I guess. Long story, but I rather like the artistic sensitivity bit. Aside from a childhood period of strange (but extremely pleasurable) 'out-of-body' experiences, I have been completely normal, unfortunately. ;-) (also, see: Oliver Sacks et al on temporal lobe epilepsy/migrane equivalents) Robert Dickow Lionel Hampton School of Music -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 7:46 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Re: Synesthesia Hello- For more info about synaesthesia look at the Wikipedia article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia I know that this can vary greatly in severity.
