The world that we perceive from our 5 physical senses is not the “real” world. This is something that many ancient sages have talked about, calling this physical world an “illusion”. Now scientists are beginning to see this truth in some unusual human beings.

Scientists have found that some people are able to hear sound when they look at pictures, while others are able to see colours when they listen to music.
