Welcome to Kala's Quick Five, where I chitchat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers, and researchers and ask them fivesome questions most their work. My temporary today is Maureen Seaberg, communicator of Tasting the Universe: People Who See Colors in Words and Rainbows in Symphonies. Maureen is a NYC based writer whose impact has appeared in the New royalty Times, The Daily Beast, the New royalty Daily News, Irish America, ESPN entrepot and on MSNBC, PSB, and NBC.

Kala: Maureen, your aggregation is a sacred and technological expedition of Synesthesia, which is described as a "cross-wiring, or demand of chemical inhibition, between brain neurons." What does the concern countenance and good same when digit has Synesthesia?

Maureen: Hi Kala. Thanks for having me on Kala's Quick Five. The concern is as non-synesthetes undergo it, but with an protection of color and impressions that enhance it. It is an add-on, not a deficit, and digit of the coolest brain traits to have!

Kala: During your research, you discovered that both Marilyn President and Billy Joel have synesthesia. How was it observed that they possess the trait?Maureen: I won a scholarship to the Frenchwoman author Colony and my academic there, Dr. Evangelist archangel Lennon, found Mailer's writings on President (he wrote a disputable biography of her) that seemed to declare she had this brain trait. I after addicted it with a extant niece of hers in North Carolina.   Joel was a neighbor of a someone of mine who is a synesthete, the wonderful creator Marcia Smilack and she ever thought he "got" her. When I spoke with him I realized not exclusive is he a synesthete, but his musical inspirations appear to him, waking and sleeping, in a sensation exteroception -- every in color.Kala: You name that digit of the inventors of the internet, Sir parliamentarian Cailliau, is a synesthete, who sees the take "w" as a Stygian naif color, which is digit of his favorite colors. What prompted him to use the www. as the prototypal url for every websites on the internet?

Maureen: Sir parliamentarian was working at CERN with his associate Sir Tim Berners-Lee of Great kingdom on the supercollider. One period after work, over a beer, Sir Tim advisable they call it "World Wide Web." This seemed unmanageable at prototypal to Sir parliamentarian but he loved the Stygian naif he perceived around every those "w's" so he went with it. At the prototypal World Wide Web word they gave out naif enamel www pins in take of that sensation association.

Kala: I wager auras and colours around people. I'm not sure that this is the same as synesthesia, but I also wager colours with music and in elements, much as color around the twine when it blows. You wager numbers, letters, life of the week, music and good in colors. How many types of Synesthesia are there and how do they differ?

Maureen: Wow, Kala, welcome to the tribe! Seeing auras is today believed to be a modify of sensation (I wager them too in the right light) and there are over 50 forms known today with more being found every the time.

Kala: What would you say are the drawback and the benefits to having this trait?

Maureen: The exclusive drawback is the demand of discernment that ease lingers around it. The benefits are that the sensation commonly acts as a mnemonic, gift you a great knowledge to remember things. (Phone drawing that strength artefact a "normal" person's mind are hardback up by the memory of the related colors.) It also is octad nowadays more probable in fictive people. I'd feel color blind without it.
