> The ones with videos are pretty coolActually I once asked my doctor about people with synesthesia, and not all people with that condition appreciate having it. It can be too much input or unwanted input, not unlike my somatiform disorder, in which the past 5 years I have been unable to filter out bright lights at night and contrast and a host of unpleasant things due to some anxiety condition. Some attempt to correct it with medication and therapy because it is too distracting, just like my condition.
I would hesitate to put any form of epilepsy on there -- I dont think people particularly enjoy the complex partial seizures which can render them unable to drive. I understand the fascination with neurology, but I would skip that one from the list.

I understand the fascination with neurology, but I would skip that one from the list.I know what that is; it is very rare. Some people have reported while being under the influence of psychedelic drugs. I got something like it, with great anxiety, just before I have a
regression type phase. It may have been due to withdrawal from Valium, or exreme mental exhaustion, or prodromal to bipolar disorder.
It went away with a tranquillizer.Squiggles
