I wonder if he has some sort of sensory cross-over synesthesia, like Daniel Tammet, who sees numbers that have their own unique shape, color and texture.



Maybe this guy just "sees" the words written backwards as he hears them, and just reads them.



Also, these guys are high as fuck and the way that moron was holding the shotgun with his finger in the trigger well makes me want to slap him. Not for being high, but for (poorly) dealing with firearms in an altered state of mind.

Strange. This seems to be an edited version of this original remix: http://videosift.com/video/Masterchef-Synesthesia-Swede-Mason yet, quite why it's been edited shorter like this is beyond me

I have a cat like this and her heart beats way faster than normal..i think its a vibrational thing..

>> ^artician:
It's my belief that some species naturally have Synesthesia. While we're just hearing the guitar, that cat could be seeing all sorts of colors or motion. I only recently had this hypothesis because we adopted an old cat a few years ago that reacts really similarly to certain noises. It's always as though they're experiencing the sound physically or visually.
I wish I could forward this comment to a scientist who cared.

Synesthesia man ! I CAN SEE THE DEER SOUNDS I NEVER SEE DEER !


I smell what you're saying...

Good tunes.

If I knew someone with synesthesia, I would try to determine what I could do that would soothe them, and what I could do to terrify them. Then I would rule them forever!

Hell, I was thinking I was suffering from synesthesia there for a while. Got me all excited.

eh it's not so bad. I have a very strong sense of smell and my monitor is braile enabled.

Heh, I suppose that would cause some problems. Must be hard to use a place like videosift like that.

well, I am clinically blind, so maybe that's the problem.

Heh, I don't know what to tell you. I've tried it on myself and others where it works fine. It could mean that you don't use your eyes as much for speech recognition. Try watching his mouth intently and hear again.

For me it turns to a mix between dada/gaga instantly if I look, and baba when I don't look. A controlled synesthesia, I think it's super interesting and mind-freaking.

that's a little disconcerting. I watched it again and I'm only getting "ba-ba"

@thinker247 & @residue: I think it's your brains' that aren't doing their job. Might be the low resolution picture or.. other anomalies.

Works fine for me.

Its sounds to me like bogus, super-rounded fMRI data. What about when you're asleep? What about when you're doing intense physical activity? What about when you're listening to music? Difficult to do fMRI in each of these conditions.

All I'm saying is the point could have been made without the unsupported statistic.

Just saw this on jwz's blog. Very trippy. Reminds me of bizarre sex/cooking dreams i have sometimes. Whoa.
