Synaesthesia or synesthesia, is a mental condition where sounds, letters, tastes or smells create other sensations like colour, texture, or taste. There are different types of synestheisa, including where you taste blueberries when you hear a specific piano note, or when you hear something, you smell something else. Many of your five senses can be linked creating different types of synestheisa conditions. People with synesthesia (known as synesthetes), experience the world differently, where their senses are hooked up to each other in ways where one sensory source produces another result – such as tasting sounds or hearing colours.
