Second Episode of "Chromatic Minds" This time I introduce you to the beautiful brain of Constantina
that experiences Lexical-gustatory Synesthesia which is a rare form of synesthesia in which spoken and written language causes individuals to experience an automatic and highly consistent taste/smell.
The taste is often experienced as a complex mixture of both temperature and texture.
"Julia tastes like melted hot cheese" How common is it to taste names???
Approximately 2%-4% of the population has Synesthesia an even smaller percentage, around 0.2% or lower (!!!!) have lexical-gustatory synesthesia.
I had the pleasure of talking to Constantina Makridakis (Κωνσταντινα Μακριδακη) where she shares how it feels like to taste names and voices, Constantina also has Asperger's Syndrome which is merged into ASD, not gonna lie this interview made want to eat something sweet!
