Subject: synesthesia (auditory kinesthetic)

I'm wondering given over 1000 list subscribers if any of you have some
form of synesthesia? Google turns up some interesting resources on
this rare kind of brain function where different sense are cross
experienced, such as colors having tastes, or sounds having colors.

I'm beginning to wonder if my kinesthetic responses to music might be a
kind of synesthesia, where my brain is making kinesthetic responses to the
auditory stimulus of music.

I would like to hear privately from anyone who has an interest in this. I
am quite willing to honor requests for confidentiality.

Thank you,
Jonathan Thornton
