RE: Misophonia a type of Synesthesia

[Guest guest]

Wow—that was a very fascinating article. I wish they would do a simple test like this on people with misophonia. That would be cool if they could do the “turning down” of oversensitivity with the neurons in people who suffer with misophonia. I’m not sure if this could be done constantly or if it only can be done during the test. Thanks for the info.

I also wonder how the scientists studying Synesthesia are finding funding for there studies? People actually SUFFER from Misophonia while people with Synesthesia don't seem to be bothered by it.Most specifically, I wonder what a scientist would find if they actually studied the brain of people suffering from Misophonia in the same way they are studying the brains of people who have Synesthesia.
