Subject: Tesla's wiring?

 
Of Note: 
 
    Some neurologists and psychologists believe, based  on Tesla's 
descriptions of his own perceptions, (e.g. looking at certain  shapes caused him pain, 
different sounds evoked certain images, "more real than  reality" etc. ) that 
Tesla had a condition known as synesthesia. In this  condition, believe to be 
caused by some "cross-wiring" in the sensory processing  areas of the brain, 
some people can hear colors, taste sounds, perceive certain  numbers or words as 
having specific colors, etc., (even when not "living better  through 
chemistry" %^)). This mixed perception may explain some of Tesla's  odd affectations, 
and may have been used to advantage by Tesla in his creative  process.
