Did you "hear" the song? Or the clapping from the song? (We Will Rock You) This isn't my image but I immediately thought of it after this reading. I really responded to the parts talking about "reading out loud" (the silent reading), synthesia, and being able to feel pain when you see it happen to someone else. I was blown away that "silent reading" is so new and that "silent reading" is really us reading out loud in our heads. My doodles were responses/tests to see if I could create synthesia just from images, like the gif.
"In different situations, other senses may initiate synthesia: our ears, when we are at an orchestral concert; or our nostrils, when a faint whiff of burning leaves suddenly brings images of childhood autumns; our skin, when we are touching or being touched by a lover."
"The diversity of my sensory systems, and their spontaneous convergence in the things that I encounter, ensures this interpenetration or interweaving between my body and other bodies-this magical participation that permits me, at times, to feel what others feel."
