Synesthesia and Deja Vu
    #5449620 -

I recently had a discussion with a freind of mine who is involved in nueroscience about synesthesia. Although it is only one particular theory, he postulates that when you hear colors or feel images this is the result of a certain part of your brain wrongly encoding or labelling information (electrical impulse patterns). Some part of your brain is responsible for organizing what information gets sent where through a process of encoding. When a sound accidentally gets encoded as visual, the sound pattern then gets sent to the visual processor and turns up as a visual.

More vivid visual or auditory hallucinations probobly come from the mental senses being processed as real/external stimuli, so visualizations become visuals and imagined sounds become heard sounds. Of course this is a little more rare.

My thought was that deja-vu is probobly the same thing, except it is a labeling error in regard to time. A present moment gets incorrectly labelled as a past moment and insantly it becomes a past moment, at least it FEELS like a past moment because it has been identified as such.

Another theory on that, since humans ,in my opinion,don't have a closed moment to moment concept of time, is that the brain absorbs the input, "stalls" for a second, resulting in catching ones breath, racing heart, blank look of confusion and then resolution into, wow, I totally had deja vu.

but maybe i'm wrong, i mean i am an idiot...

I think synesthesia happens all the time, only your brain filters out junk information so you can be sane and understand whats going on. When you take psychedelics and see colors/hear sounds, you're inhibiting the brain's filter, and therefore are able to watch your brain create your reality. Synesthesias seem like a side-effect of data-organization/display.

If you really pay attention, you'll notice that synesthesia is happening all the time. I've noticed that I have assigned colors to notes of the scale. C is silver, D is yellow, E is red, F is black, G is green, a is white, b is purple. Its always been that way, since I was little. Why? I don't know. The brain is a mystery. Also, dial tone is brown.

I always have thought that deja vu happened when something went directly into long term memory without touching short term memory. Then because this processing error happened, you recall the long term memory you just created and it enters the short term memory resulting in the feeling of "wtf, did that just happen again?"

Purple haze, all in my brain, lately things just don't seem the same. Actin' funny but I don't know why, 'scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Kind of like when your heart skips a beat and then thumps really hard to compensate.
