Both of these are called developmental synesthesia.

这两种都被称为发展性联觉。

For example, in grapheme-color synesthesia, people literally see letters in certain colors.

例如，在字形—颜色联觉中，人们从字面上看到特定颜色的字母。

You can teach yourself synesthesia, there are many benefits to synesthesia, such as boosting your memory and creativity.

你可以自学联觉，联觉有很多好处，比如提高你的记忆力和创造力。

With that said, here are six interesting things about synesthesia.

说了这么多，下面便是关于通感的六个有趣事实。

Did you know that there are certain members of the population more likely to have synesthesia than others?

你知道人群中有些人比其他人更有可能拥有联觉能力吗？

It's a type of synesthesia which is when the senses like hearing and sight get crossed in the brain.

这是一种联觉，这是听觉和视觉等感官在大脑中交叉时产生的作用。

Similarly, if you have synesthesia and are diagnosed with depression, you might find that it temporarily leaves altogether.

类似地，如果你有联觉并且被诊断为抑郁症，你可能会发现这种能力暂时消失了。

If so, you may have synesthesia, a neurological condition that scientists are still trying to learn more about.

如果是这样，那么你可能有“联觉”，这是一种科学家仍在努力了解更多信息的神经系统疾病。

Do you think you have synesthesia?

你认为你有联觉能力吗？

It's called synesthesia. We learned it at school.

这叫做联觉。 我们在学校学过。

[Interviewer] So, Lorde, you have synesthesia?

- [采访者]那么， 洛德，你有联觉吗？

Color and music have always been incredibly tied for me through synesthesia.

通过联觉，色彩和音乐对我来说一直有着不可思议的联系。

Scientists have even discovered a specific gene on chromosome that causes grapheme-color synesthesia.

科学家们甚至在染色体上发现了一种引起字素颜色联觉的特殊基因。

But even for the vast majority of other folks who don't have synesthesia, colours can affect the way we perceive the world.

但即使对绝大多数没有联觉的人来说，颜色也能影响我们感知世界的方式。

The most notable case is synesthesia, where things like words, numbers, and musical notes can all evoke colours or other responses and create rich, multisensory experiences.

最显著的例子是联觉，单词、数字和音符都能唤起颜色或其他反应，创造丰富的多感官体验。

There are some cases where people suddenly gain these abilities due to medical issues like strokes, tumors, or brain injury, known as acquired synesthesia.

在一些病例中，人们由于中风、肿瘤或脑损伤等医学问题，突然获得了这些能力，这被称为获得性联觉。

Since mindfulness is about shifting your attention to your senses, learning to become aware of your senses may help you to better perceive synesthesia.

正念就是把注意力转移到你的感官上，学会关注于你的感官可能会帮助你更好地感知联觉。

Meanwhile, the reverse can be seen in synesthesia, where one type of sensory input activates another in a much more intense way than in run of the mill cross-modal perception.

同时，在联觉中可以看到相反的情况，一种感官输入比普通的跨模态感知能强烈地激活另一种。

According to Decoby Bancroft on ranker. com, researchers think everyone is born with synesthesia, but grows out of it in time, with some developing it later on in life.

根据 ranker.com 网站上的德科比·班克罗夫特的说法，研究人员认为每个人天生都有联觉，但随着时间的推移，这种感觉会逐渐消失，有些人则会在以后的生活中会发展出这种能力。

Again, scientists don't know why, but studies in the U.S. have shown that women are three times more likely to have synesthesia, while in the UK, eight times more likely to have it.

同样，科学家们也不知道为什么，但美国的研究表明，女性拥有联觉的可能性是男性的三倍，而在英国，女性拥有联觉的可能性是男性的八倍。
