• Resumen

  • If people see a crisp image of a calendar in front of you, you might be a calendar synesthete. Only a few people have calendar synesthesia. To find out if they are having a real sensory experience, a team led by Vilayanur Ramachandran at the University of California, San Diego, tested two synesthetes. ML appears able to use her calendar to easily navigate backwards through time. When asked to recite every third month backwards, she took 1.88 seconds per month, compared with 4.48 seconds in eight non-synesthetes.
