Find some sense

From 2-4 p.m. Friday in room 346 of Giltner Hall, the club MSU S.E.N.S.E.S., or Students Exploring New Sensory Experiences in Synesthesia, is hosting Eating Words & Feeling Sounds: The Synesthesia Experience. This event will give attendees the chance to experience what it’s like to live with synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes involuntary stimulation of the senses. Synesthetes sometimes see letters or numbers as color or taste the way words sound.

Friday’s event will give non-synesthetes the chance to experience being synesthetes. As a synesthete, you will have the ability to see A in red, taste words and feel sound.

Attendants will receive free food and souvenirs.
