An extremely small percentage of people don't process information correctly in such a way that their senses get mixed up. Some of these people look at a number and see a color that's not really there, or smell a fragrance that isn't really there. Others hear a sound and feel a sensation or see a color...that they otherwise wouldn't have experienced at that time. One person who sees certain colors with numbers doesn't necessarily see the same colors as other people with this phenomenon; a person usually sees the same color each time when seeing that number. Someone who hears a certain sound may smell a different fragrance than someone else who hears that sound, & maybe someone hears harmony & overtones with visual patterns when hearing that sound. Scientists think the cause of this is some type of crossed wiring in the brain, but they haven't figured out the details. After watching Bob Dylan & his expressions/reactions to his music as well as his way of singing, I have a theory that maybe he's one of these "crossed wiring" people. It's only a theory. I wouldn't doubt that certain music pitches or harmonies cause him visuals. When he sings, he might hear something quite different than others hear; maybe that's why he has his famous style of singing in which he doesn't sustain notes (the better sustaining music & colors... in his mind is good enough for him, and maybe the actual sustaining of a note lessens his better "crossed wiring" experience.) Maybe his famous "trombone slurring" from one pitch to another pitch is his attempt to better change the picture in his mind. Someone needs to save his DNA & brain for medical research (the phenomenon might not be directly from DNA but rather from environmental factors.) Bob, if you're reading this, does any of this ring a bell (literally!)? From MSNBC Earworms are songs that are hard to get out of your ear.
