PRECEDENCE: Synaesthesia

There is a great importance in understanding motion and color. Both elements are what defines culture. Both motion and color are a form of expression, often seen in dance. We use the term of color to describe a basic range of elements. In this context, color is a complimentary of motion or movement, in which people use to convey a message.

Without going too much in depth on color and motion, I want to focus on the sensation of synaesthesia.

According to WordNet, synaesthesia is a sensation that normally occurs in one sense modality occurs when another modality is stimulated. For example, certain synaesthetes (the people who experience synesthesia) may actually see specific colors when they hear specific notes or music. They use sound to relate to a different sensation.
