Synesthesia

In the poems I have studied writes have explored human mortality from differing perspectives and focusing on different ideas and issues. For example, in “Mother in a refugee camp”, Chinua Achebe explores the profound love between mother and child as well as the theme of premature death in a graphic and violent way. Furthermore in a different way, Carol Ann Duffy in “War Photographer”, focuses on the necessity of exploring the reality of what goes on in the world as well as the traumatic impacts…

Coda kept his eyes open for flowers. The ones he searched for were blue, delicate little blooms Palette loved. She would point them out for him as they walked together upon this pavement road. “Look,” she would say with a smile. Coda always looked politely, and smiled as well, more for her sake than his. The taste of the word ‘look’ rested upon his tongue, not unlike that of graham crackers, and Coda entwined their fingers more tightly together. Hers were slender, flecked with paint, his…

R.H. Ettinger describes and details the topic of sensation and perception in chapter four of Psychology: The Science of Behavior. Sensation and perception go hand in hand together to form the basis of every organism 's behavior. Sensation is the direct and immediate experience that affects a sense organ whereas perception is the organization and interpretation of each sensation. The five major senses: vision, audition, gustation, olfaction, and skin senses all go through the process of…

with the partial agonism of the kappa and mu opioid receptors, as found in the dissociative hallucinogen Salvia Divinorum, leads to what is considered to be the most immersive visionary experience of any substance. This is most likely due to the synesthesia and visions caused by the serotonin system in tandem with the dissociation caused by the opioid receptors; making Iboga almost a cross section between LSD and Salvia. To add to this, Ibogaine and Noribogaine are both serotonin reuptake…

As we grow up, we are given two choices: to be the “real us”--riddled with self-doubt and overcome by troubling experiences--or to be the facade that we present. However we choose to present ourselves, it is common knowledge that time doesn’t wait for anyone. In fact, life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans. And so as we live, caught up in our reality of homework and first kisses, of new hellos and old goodbyes, of laughing and crying, we are too busy rushing to notice…

Judgment is an opinion that is made base upon the way we perceive knowledge, as well as it also is a cognitive process of reaching conclusion through the involvement of reasoning and evidence. Instinctive judgments, however, perceives knowledge and knowing without conscious reasoning. Instinct is innate (Henly 218-219). When judgments are made instinctively, it becomes a natural reaction to a situation without involving conscious reasoning. Thus, instinctive judgment can be defined as a combined…

“Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad". Discuss. The theme of remembrance is constantly seen in literature works and poetry. Poets depict the importance of memories, and that it is always better to remember than forget. The poems ‘Remember’, ‘Poem at 39’ and ‘A Mother in a Refugee Camp’ give diverse opinions on the significance of memory. In Rossetti's poem ‘Remember’, she is torn apart on whether to remember or not, providing a duo-view on…

Lysergic Acid Diethylamid, or LSD, is a hallucinogenic drug formed from a fungus, ergot, that typically grows on rye and wheat. It was initially discovered in 1938 by Swiss chemist, Albert Hofmann. Hofmann originally began his research with the compound in hopes of finding additional treatments for migraines as well as gynecological issues. However, when Hofmann accidentally consumed some of the drug in 1943, he incidentally discovered the sensory distortions and hallucinations it induced. Once…

To experience the surrounding world, the human body uses biological systems, senses, to interpret external stimuli and form a coherent, tangible view. The senses consist of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting, where seeing and hearing are the most crucial. The perception of the world is the brain’s ability to analyze the incoming sensation messages and relay them back; sensation is both the initial messages sent by the nerves and the complete resulting picture created by the brain.…
