This project started when I went down a rabbit hole listening to David Eagleman’s Inner Cosmos podcast. I was fascinated by the episodes on neuroplasticity and how the brain can 'wire' new sensory associations, specifically Synesthesia and Chromesthesia.
I wanted to see if I could re-wire my own brain in that direction, so I built this app as a structured way to train these associations between pitch and color.
After doing a bit of research and curating a series of exercises, I figured at best I might give people the opportunity to experience the world in a more 'colorful' way through synesthetic associations, and at the very least, to develop a much sharper musical ear for identifying notes and complex chords.
I’m curious to see if anyone else here has experimented with sensory expansion and ear training, and I would love your feedback on what I've put together!
