Re: Misophonia a type of Synesthesia - Frequency Spectrum

[Guest guest]

This post reminds me of a chart I saw years ago about how our bodies experience

different frequencies. Here's a similar chart.

http://www.lunarplanner.com/Harmonics/planetary-harmonics.html

You'll notice that at the far left the frequencies in the visible spectrum and

audible spectrum can overlap. Based on this chart, I wonder if we can make the

assumption that some people's eyes and/or ears can see/hear/perceive a wider

spectrum than most? And just because someone has partial hearing loss doesn't

mean they might still not pick up on particular frequencies.

This doesn't explain the limbic response, but it might be a place to start the

research.

For instance, I can sometimes " feel " sound on my skin. In this case, it's not

too far of a stretch to imagine that the limbic system could be triggered

because it might equate that subtle vibration to an insect crawling on the skin.

In regards to seeing sound, has anyone ever hearing of " overtone " singing? It's

a singing technique done by Monks, and others, whereby they learn to project

vocal sounds that span multiple octaves.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtone_singing

I supposed it's possible that some everyday sounds are actually projected in

multiple frequencies, some being in the visual range. This may be possible since

the eyes perceive input at a higher frequency range, whereas the ears perceive

input a lower frequency range.

Very interesting, I watched a long documentary about synesthesia . Some of the people who had sound/sight mix could not be exposed to certain sounds due to an overwhelming reaction. For instance, one woman said she could not go to a discotech because the low frequency sounds created large black spots in her vision. She said this was a very uncomfortable feeling. I've often wondered if our condition and synesthesia is one and the same, just a different variation. Sent from my iPhone
