Reliable claims?

Although this is no doubt beyond the scope of this article, one does wonder for how many of those individuals claiming to experience synesthesia is there any kind of testing-derived proof? Probably not for many; it seems rather en vogue of late, particularly for musical artists, to claim to experience this, presumably in hopes of seeming more "in tune" with music and giving that which they create more validity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.76.44 (talk) 02:44, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to falsify my claim, but I ran into unforeseeable barriers. Let's just say Cognitive Psychology is an interesting topic for an open minded IT guy. ;-) Mugli (talk) 10:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For one, I tried to check references for these claims: "Examples include predicting the results of computer simulations in subjects such as quantum mechanics or fluid dynamics when results are not naturally intuitive.[17][39]"

Quantum mechanics is mentioned once but in another context once, fluid dynamics not at all. So, I don't think these claims are backed by those given references... ~ Mletonsa (talk) 20:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just remove these claims, if anything fails verification then it shouldn't be in the article. Artem.G (talk) 20:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just logged in to specifically fix this exact issue. Neither source mentions either field or anything related to either field for that matter. To boot, the entire section was added by a mobile guest user in one go, and the only other citation in that section is somewhat suspect, as it's the personal site of a synesthesia advocate. The eye test certainly doesn't pass here - unsupported claims of what amounts to a superpower related to a very in-vogue area of physics? The most parsimonious explanation is that this is an attempt at self-promotion. Of course, we're not here to judge sources I suppose, but certainly in this case the claims presented bear no relation to the sources cited, so I'm removing them.

SSS (SPATIAL SEQUENCE SYNESTHESIA)

They also see months or dates in the space around them. Some people see time like a clock above and around them. ( Please answer my question if possible) [Can any one please show me what this term means? I can not wrap my mind on what this term means visually. I dont understand what is seen in the mind of a person that has this symptom. Libragirl1066 (talk) 23:14, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
