Parang ito &#x27;yung normal na sense for me, pero sa ibang tao hindi siya normal,&quot; she elaborated.</p><p>According to a science news website <a href="https://www.livescience.com/60707-what-is-synesthesia.html">LiveScience</a>, &quot;synesthesia is a neurological condition that causes the brain to process data in the form of several senses at once. For example, a person with synesthesia may hear sounds while also seeing them as colorful swirls. The condition isn&#x27;t fully understood, but it is thought to be genetic, and it affects more women than men.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2018/entertainment/03/15/yeng_1.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Constantino said it was her husband who discovered about her condition while they were eating.</p><p>&quot;Sabi ko sa kanya, &#x27;Alam mo love, itong food na ito parang purple &#x27;yung kulay niya.&#x27; Sabi ni Yan, &#x27;Ha?&#x27; Hindi purple ang kulay ng food ko, I mean purple ang kulay ng taste niya. Sabi ni Yan, &#x27;Baka may synesthesia ka na.&#x27; Tapos Ginoogle ko. Sobrang eksakto kung ano ang description doon. So &#x27;yung mga tao kapag kumakain nakakakita ng kulay or parang naa-associate nila &#x27;yung taste with colors or kapag nakikinig sila ng sound na-a-associate nila with colors,&quot; Constantino narrated.</p>
