from: Synesthesia May Explain Healers Claims of Seeing People's 'Aura'- Science Daily (blog)
This article mentions research from Spain that connects synesthesia to aura reading. It says that people who claim the ablity to read others' auras could actually have a form of color synesthesia. the aura is defined as a supposed energy field of luminous radiation surrounding a person as a halo, which is imperceptible to most human beings." I guess I can understand how one thing relates to another, but my question is how can they even research this? I see that they are similar- some synesthetes associate colors with something else and those who claim to see auras can see a light above people's heads, but where do they go from there? It's not like there is a solid definition for synesthesia or that we really know all that much about it, and we don't don;t really know the cold hard facts of aura reading so how can researchers compare two things without having a solid base to base the comparisons off of?
