Synesthesia, ASMR, Cymatics, and the Sound of the Sun

Let's learn about these four topics by watching a few videos exploring sound in a way that might be unfamiliar to you.

Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a process in which one sense produces a secondary, subjective sensation.  For example, someone might see the color blue and smell bacon, or they might hear a certain note of music, and see orange.

A.S.M.R.
A.S.M.R. stands for Auto Sensory Meridian Response.  It is a physical sensation that most often occurs as a result of visual or auditory stimuli.
Have you heard about ASMR before today? 
Have you ever felt the described tingling sensation before? 

Cymatics
Cymatics is the study of wave phenomena and their visual representations.  A famous device used to explore cymatics is the Chladni Plate.  The video on the left shows cymatics through a Chladni Plate, and the video on the right is an artistic representation of actual cymatic experiments through a music video.
