Do Synaesthetes See the Same Things?
No. Check out some other synaesthete's websites (try the links page) -their associations are completely different from mine. However, it is very interesting to note that the letters 'o' and 'i' and the numbers '0' and '1' are relatively frequently seen as black or white. I'm not sure why this is. One theory is that because lines and circles are very basic forms (and therefore amongst the first we learn to recognise) and black and white are the first colours (or tones, to be correct) that we learn as babies. Also, apparently 'a' is most commonly associated with red.
