While thinking of what to write for Post 1, I stumbled upon this video
that I thought was really interesting.  As related to our Perception
class, we have 5 senses.  Vision, Smell, Taste, Touch, and Hearing.
Sometimes these senses can be joined together known as a condition
called Synesthesia.  People who experience this may taste shapes, hear
colors, taste/feel certain words, or see written digits, letters, or words in color.  I didn't realize how many people in the world actually have this condition.  Research discovered that 1 in 300 people have some varation of the condition.  Studies show more women than men experience Synesthesia and most victims are left-handed.  People with this condition are born with it.  Sometimes the condition disappears as the person ages and others it sticks with them for life.
