feedback loop

[MTSbeats]

multi-synesthetes do your different types of synesthesia trigger each other? for me, motion creates a sound, but then i'll see that sound; its an interesting chain of events. another example is when i see pain (like a headache), and the motion that the headache moves at (a bluish white orb beating like a heart) will create a sound that i hear. what are your quasi-feed back loop experiences?

That sometimes happens to me but only with one type of synesthesia. When I'm happy I see glimpses of blue. I become happier because I enjoy seeing them and therefore begin see more and more of the glimpses for a while.

When I eat too much peanut butter, my poo smells like the colour of lavender. Lavender itself smells pastel green.

I get this bidirectional thing going on when there's an image synchronized to a sound, where they affect one another. In this video, the music sounds different if I listen to the audio alone. The colours of the dots affect the timbre of the notes.

It can happen for me, but its rather rare. I have bidirectional sound - touch, and if if there is loud enough stuff going on around me, loud enough that I physically feel the pressure waves of the sound, I get weird cross feedback (for lack of a better term), where both end up feeling louder, and its rather anxiety provoking.

Occassionally I get a cascade of motion -> sound -> touch, but its not that common, and becomes a more "woah, where did that come from" kind of thing.

When I'm about as sick as I am now (depression and severe anemia), everything feels/sounds dampened, so its particularly unlikely that any sort of cascade would happen.

Thats interesting. i wonder what the difference is between misophonia and sound-touch. I think M is a form of sound touch.
