I've been thinking about this, recalling interviews with true
synaesthesics (?), and am not sure....
I don't actually vividly see colors, but what I think happens is
that, when listening to and thinking about music, I force a
comparison to the behavior of light, and other natural phenomenon.
So, in that part of the brain which 'sees' things internally, as
part of the thought-process, that's were I envision sound as light
waves.
Do you agree that this is not true synaethsisia? Maybe it could be
called 'Hinking'!

Hi Kelly, I think Paul answered the points on phi pretty much as I would have, so I won't repeat any of that. But I'm intrigued by your synaesthetic experience...

Hi Kelly, True synaesthesia, as I understand it, consists in perceiving things _as if_ through another sense; there's no question of forcing anything. ...
