Can you hear colors or see sounds?
This may sound absurd. Like how can you hear colors? Colors are some thing we sense through sight. How can we hear them? Let's see...
There is a real condition called synesthesia in which the stimulation of one sense triggers an automatic, involuntary experience in another sense.
So, when synesthetes hear different tones, they may see different colors, or when they see or think certain words, they may experience taste of food items. Some of them may even associate letters, numbers or words with colors.
We don't actually know why this happens, but researchers think that when we are born, we have more connections between the sensory areas of the brain.
However, as we mature, most of the connections are blocked or pruned so that we experience the senses separately. But in some people, these connections don't get pruned efficiently, so they may experience two or more senses simultaneously.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
