Smelling A Sound or Hearing A Color?⁠ 👇🏼 ⁠ One person out of thousand has Synaesthesia, a psychological phenomenon in which they can smell a sound or hear a color. Most of these people are not aware they are Synaesthetes, but some researchers affirm that it is actually common in newborns. ⁠ ⁠ The research field has grown from grapheme-color Synaesthesia (where numbers/letters are associated with the experience of colors) to include other forms of Synaesthesia in which flavors are evoked by music or words (Lexical-gustatory Synaesthesia), colors by music etc.⁠ ⁠ This phenomenon, called 'Synaesthesia', from the Greek “syn” (with) and “aisthesis” (sensation), consists of the pairing of two bodily senses by which the perception of a determined stimulus activates a different subjective perception with no external stimulus.⁠ ⁠ Are you or do you know someone who are Synaesthetes ? ⁠ ⁠ 👄 👃🏽 👁 🧠 👂🏽⁠ ⁠ ⁠ photo: @sophiepinet

MAKING SENSE OF THE FIFTH SENSE👃🏻⁠ #2⁠ ⁠ The sense of smell, is in addition to being the sense most closely linked to memory, also highly emotive. Perfumes can evoke emotions and feelings from desire to power, vitality to relaxation.⁠ ⁠ On a more personal level, smell is extremely important when it comes to attraction between two people. Research has shown that our body odour, can help us subconsciously choose our partners. Kissing is thought by some scientists to have developed from sniffing; that first kiss being essentially a primal behaviour during which we smell and taste our partner to decide if they are a match.⁠ ⁠ It is likely that much of our emotional response to smell is governed by association, something which is borne out by the fact that different people can have completely different perceptions of the same smell. Take perfume for example; one person may find a particular scent ‘powerful’ and another describing it as ‘too spicy’. ⁠ ⁠ This is also why we often recommend to have more than just one 'signature scent' - so that you can assess on each day how your mood is, what your daily tasks will be and what your soul is longing for.

MAKING SENSE OF THE FIFTH SENSE👃🏻⁠ #1 ⁠ When a smell is detected, the olfactory neurones in the upper part of the nose generate an impulse that is passed to the brain along the olfactory nerve. The part of the brain this arrives at first is called the olfactory bulb which processes the signal and then passes information about the smell to other areas closely connected to it, collectively known as the limbic system.⁠ ⁠ The limbic system comprises a set of structures within the brain that are regarded by scientists as playing a major role in controlling mood, memory, behaviour and emotion.⁠ ⁠ It is often regarded as being the old, or primitive, part of the brain because these same structures were present within the brains of the very first mammals. Knowing this helps us to understand why smell plays such an important role in memory, mood and emotion.⁠ ⁠
