| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only. This is episode 464. It's part two with Dr. |
| 0:23.6 | Janessa Seymour on synesthesia. It is so cool. Now, part two maybe doesn't have the most |
| 0:28.8 | mind-blowing thing in the world from part one that I'm still so excited about and just been thinking |
| 0:34.3 | about. It may not have that, but it has so much more about synesthesia, |
| 0:39.1 | what we understand about it, what it is, what it isn't. And this part will even make clear |
| 0:45.5 | something that I was kind of skeptical about in a way that, something that I really didn't |
| 0:51.1 | quite understand yet, that Genese ties together beautifully about where in the |
| 0:56.8 | process this synesthesia is happening. You know, it can't be right away. It can't be in the |
| 1:01.6 | beginning, the very beginning, because there seems to be some sort of brain processing, but it |
| 1:05.7 | can't be too far out in the process to use loose language here because we know that it's involuntary. |
| 1:13.1 | There's different reasons. |
| 1:14.3 | And particularly, if you remember talking about the peripheral vision thing, that was really |
| 1:21.1 | fascinating. |
| 1:22.1 | And that felt like something that was really hard to reconcile, where someone's synesthesia |
| 1:27.0 | essentially turned black and white |
| 1:28.9 | in the same way that their peripheral vision would once it got to a certain area. That seemed |
| 1:34.2 | hard to understand. And today's episode, among other things, in the process of helping us understand |
| 1:40.6 | what synesthesia is, actually does explain that. It's so cool. So, hope you enjoy this |
| 1:45.4 | even a tenth as much as I did. And once again, please support the show. Patreon.com |
