Response to R1 Media:

The first set of readings and viewings were very interesting to me. I have heard of some of these conditions but I hadn't really understood what they were. It is amazing that many people have a gift/condition that allows them to learn and perceive numbers, letters, colors, shapes, etc. differently from everyone else. I feel that as a creative person that I share some of this skill but not to a massive degree as Daniel Tammet from the TED talk. I am very interesting in cymatics and synethesia and will continue to research them.
