Number-form synesthesia

 

People with this type of synesthesia perceive numbers as a sequence visualised spatially, around them or in front of them. The spatial positioning is highly consistent and tends not to vary throughout the synestheteโ€™s lifetime. For many of these people, each number also has its own colour (so number-form coexists with grapheme-colour synesthesia in this case), or their number maps have shading effects. These synesthetes frequently visualise the numbers spatially in relation to themselves, with a perspective that varies according to the number they have in mind at any given time. The maps are three-dimensional and assume many different forms: they can be straight or curving, with one or more changes of direction, with right angles, peaks and dips, spirals, zigzags, steps or ladder-like structures, going from right to left or vice versa, climbing up or disappearing on the horizon as the numbers get larger, and they may look tidy and well-organised or appear chaotic, only making sense to their โ€œownerโ€. In any case, it can safely be said that there are as many spatial numerical maps as there are number-form synesthetes, as this type of synesthesia is just as idiosyncratic as any other.

youtube has a lot of vids on the subject, and all it's varieties.
