Can you hear smells or smell music?

localising different 'behaviour' to different parts of the brain is a dodgy area

like, that guy who got a spike thru his head & was pretty much completely normal afterwards .. ?

there's a book by a guy who got interested in it, and possibly also one called "the man who wore his wife as a hat"

heh my post-it notes are all flapping around with bass off my speakers

I got synaesthesia, smell, colour, taste. It's weird trying to picture not having it

I just see flashing colors when I read stuff.

I have no synaesthasia whatsoever, but I can recall or imagine smells, like you could with music, quite vividly. Sometimes a smell can sneak up on you that feels like you haven't experienced it in ages, and it can take you back to a precise moment in time. I love that feeling. This thread is totally motivating me to quit smoking again.

I can smell shit threads.

Phineas Gage. Railway spike blew through his head. He seemed fine, but wasn't able to make sane long-term decisions any more. Went from being a reliable guy to being completely undependable.

I had to read "the man who wore his wife as a hat" along with a bunch of other books for a class, once. I've forgotten most, but one was "Phantoms in the brain" by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran.
