Synesthesia

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.


Ordinal-linguistic personification: This is a type of Synesthesia where any word, number or letter a person experiences seems to have an animation such as gender and personality. Argue that neurodevelopemental basis share "unified underlying behavior". 


Number-form synesthesia: This is the type of synesthesia where an individual can see the numbers as diagrams in their heads. This allows for many who have this condition, and understand it to solve complex arithematic. Based on Mitternachtsblau, this condition provides great failure to the person who wants to solve these arithmatic problems on paper.
Sound-color Synesthesia: When a person hears a sound/music and in exchange experiences color, then this person suffers from sound-color synesthesia. Thes colors these people experience all depend on the type of music they are listening to.This synesthesia can be broken down into two distinct categories. The Narrow band and the Broad band.

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.
