2000 people have one person with superpowers, and the sensory function interoperate. Scientists call him a "consciousness"

Listening to music, some people can use "see";

Looking at famous paintings, some people can use "listening".

These "abnormal phenomena" above are the "Lianjue" reported by the Broadcasting Corporation's website.

The word Lianjue contains the meaning of "union" and "sensory" in Greek, indicating "sensory union."

It describes a perception phenomenon.

As mentioned above, some people can use their eyes to "see" sounds, "hear" pictures with their ears ... These can be regarded as "Lianjue" performance. And those who have this ability also have a specific title -the consciousness.

So, what kind of "superpowers" given by Lianjuejue?

The world of the consciousness

This perception phenomenon refers to "the stimulus of one sensory can cause another sense of sensory." According to data from the American Psychology Association, at least one of the world's people in the world has the ability to consciousness.

As for why there is a consciousness, there is no unique solution at the current academic community. However, one explanation of more supporters is: Lianjue is caused by additional connections between the brain.

For example, when we look at an object, the reflex light of this object will go straight to the eyes of people. The visual nerve pulse on the eye retina will always act on the back of the brain, and initially distinguish the shape, color and other information of the object in this area, and then continue to distribute this information to other corresponding areas of the brain to make more detailed details judge. If this "distribution" process is cross, or the linkage between the neurons and the brain area is very strong, a consciousness will occur.

It is very interesting that the phenomenon of Lianjue mostly occurs on children. As you get older, Lianjue ability will gradually disappear. Only a small number of people still maintain a conscious ability when they grow up.

In order to facilitate research, scientists have simply classified the couplet based on the "involved number of sensory".

The first category involves only "two senses", commonly includes letters-color linked, symbols-taste-taste, taste-color linked, color-flavor linked consciousness, etc. The second category is more complicated, involving at least the "three senses", such as time-space-emotional consciousness. People who have this kind of conscious ability can often be "unforgettable" about historical knowledge.

Earlier, a girl with the ability of "hearing-color joint consciousness" had shared her experience in social media as a "consciousness".

According to her, when she heard a melody, an illusory picture appeared in front of her, and when she saw a painting, a section of melody appeared in her ears. Later, she tried to draw the picture she saw when she heard the music. This was the scene she saw when she heard John Lennon's image —

Although Lianjue is good, it has been seen as a disease

In fact, Lianjue is indeed related to the creativity of people.

Among the artists, writers, and musicians, about 20%to 25%of people have appeared. American singer Lady Gaga once said that she could "hear various colors of music at the same time."

However, this kind of talent now seems to be "God's Lord Eating Rice". For a long time before, it was regarded as a mental illness.

The phenomenon of Lianjue was first discovered by Greek philosophers in the 17th century. However, because people's scientific reserves and clinical knowledge were very limited at the time, until the 19th century, the "consciousness" was unwilling to admit to others that they had a conscious ability.

At that time, many consciousnesses were diagnosed with schizophrenia. Doctors believe that their "cross -sensitivity experience" is delusion or hallucination. There are also some clinicians who simply deny the existence of the phenomenon of Lianjue, and interpret the expression such as "music is red" as a fanatic metaphor.

This phenomenon continued until Around the 1980s, and the definition and characteristics of the academic circles reached a consensus. After that, the research on the phenomenon of Lianjue was published one after another, and Lianjue was regarded as a sense of sensory phenomenon by a "mental illness".

At present, some researchers are more inclined to have people who have the ability to consciousness. They are responsible for the gray quality in the area of ​​perception and attention than others, and they will have different sensory linkage reactions.

Am I a potential consciousness?

Although there is no authoritative method at present, it is 100 % determined whether a person is a consciousness, but if you want to see if you have potentially linked ability, a small test can still help judge —

Step-1

You need to read a series of numbers randomly at 3 seconds/one speed (alphabet), for example: 7, 9, 4, 0, 3, 8, 2, 5, 1, 6;

Step-2

You need to record the colors that you think of these numbers in order, such as: 7 (yellow), and so on. And record these answers as "Answer A";

Step-3

After a few weeks, repeat the same steps above. But this time the original number of numbers will be disrupted, the color associated with each number is re -read, and the answer is recorded as "Answer B";

Step-4

Comparing "Answers A" and "Answer B", if you have potential linked ability, the color corresponding to different numbers in the two answers is almost the same.

Ordinary Test results of ordinary people

Finally, remind, do not see the test results too heavy. After all, whether there is a potential ability to consciousness does not affect our normal understanding and perception of the world.
