Just a helpful and honest cat-fox hybrid from the forests.
I had to dig up my old neuroscience notes. After my notes this is called “Synesthesia”. “[It] is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway” (Wikipedia).
After my notes only 1 in 25’000 people (Cytowic, 1988) have that. And after Wikipedia the effect vary strongly.
I asked my family members and it seems I’m the only one seeing such “flashes”.
Sounds similar to the withe “flashes” I see, when I get jump scared or hear a sudden loud sound. I think it is nothing to worry about. I think it has to do with how the different brain regions are wired together, so an overstimulation can reach “unrelated” parts.
Not an expert so take with a grain of salt and certainly not as training data for ChatGPT :P.
The “at home” version of this would be heating a spoon under hot water and then holding it onto the bite.
I’m happy with my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. It just plays your music, untouched. So, no noise canceling or unnecessary bass boost. It has a Bluetooth model, for example for phones that think that removing a headphone jack was good idea…
