Mental number line

Post by Lousku »

Do you have some graphical way of seeing numbers in your head? What's it like? Draw it. I've heard of many different shapes, some people have even assigned colours to numbers. Kinda interestingy.

Mine is 3D but it looks kinda like this: http://up.k10x.net/hqcuksdilwoyj/numerorna.png

LousQ, what you're talking about is synesthesia and is pretty interesting. I've got a mild form of it, connecting certain numbers and letters with differrent colours, but far from as complex as it can be.

Yeah, but it's not necessarily synesthesia if there are no colors.
