SYNESTHESIA:

This word means joined(Syn) perception (aisthesis). This is a condition where the person who carries it has one sense which "is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses."

Grapheme-color synesthetes: This is a type of Synesthesia where an individual perceives a certain color when it comes to observing any letter, word or number. Neuroimaging studies have shown that people who suffer from this condition have fusiform gyruses that appear to be bigger when it comes to volume and surface area of such brain area on both the left and right side.



Lexical-gustatory Synesthesia:Magnetic resonance imaging has proved to various neuroscientists that people who suffer from this, can actually taste words. Every time a certain word is given, they have a taste for it, just like number-form synesthesia sufferer experience different diagrams depending on the number that pops up.
