[Art_beyond_sight_educators] Synaesthesia and propriocetption

[Lisa Yayla]

Hi,

Sending a couple article links that are a bit off topic, but well, this is Friday.

It's been awhile since I've sent anything about synaesthesia - read this in New Scientist
People taught synaesthesia learn to read in colour
"Brain training for synaesthesia<http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19163-can-you-teach-yourself-synaesthesia.html> - the condition where you mix up sensory information - doesn't yet exist, but it may be just around the corner. For the first time, people have been taught to experience a common form of synaesthesia, where letters appear as certain colours, in their everyday life."
