A member asked:
Why does the brain associate certain colors with numbers in synesthesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Synesthesia: Synesthesia is a perceptual experience where the brain automatically associates one cognitive experience with another. For example, numbers might appear as inherently colored, based on the number itself. It is unknown why some people have this experience, but there may be a familial or genetic basis.
