Change of Pace

so today I was driving to raleigh listening to podcasts to pass the time.  one was about mirror-image neurons, thought to be responsible for people "feeling" other people's pain.  apparently this is known as synaesthesia, and there are many (over 50) different forms.

the most common type is where people associate colors with letters- so a person might associate the letter "B" with the color red.  one type is called space-time synaesthesia, where people actually "visualize" time.  I TOTALLY HAVE THIS!!  most people report seeing a calendar year, where it "rotates around them" (sounds crazy but it makes complete sense to me, see picture for a clearer idea).

anyway, read more on this BBC site if you're interested:

synaesthesia

or maybe it's just my active imagination...!
