Synaesthesia
To help us adjust and grow as babies, we are born with many areas in our brains “fused” together, so we can learn new information rapidly. At about 18 months, these connections separate and break. When they don’t, you have synaesthesia. Synaesthesia exists in many forms. Some people can taste words, and others see numbers in the spaces around them. A lot of people have number-color synaesthesia since the number processing and color processing areas of the brain are next to each other.
