Ideasthesia: How do ideas feel? - Danko Nikolić

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/ideasthesia...
The traditional model of our mental function is that first our senses provide data to our brain, which then translates those senses into the appropriate mental phenomena: light into visual images, air vibrations into auditory experiences, etc. But what if that process is actually occurring simultaneously? Danko Nikolić describes the theory of ideasthesia.

    Plus, the word "Kiki" letters are looking with more straight lines, as compared to the word "Bouba" which has more round lines. Therefore the vision of the letters enhances their prescribed characteristics.

    The video said that it was common across cultures. So instead of the English alphabet having much to do with it, I think it is about the sound the words make and the shapes they represent. The shape representing Kiki looks like broken glass which makes a high pitched sound. Whereas the shape of bouba looks like a blob of slime and makes similar sound.

    8 is the stereotype red-head who has freckles, braces, a big mouth literally and figuratively, who talks too much and is annoying and a bit self-obsessed. 1 by itself is flashy and full of itself, also wears purple eye shadow, and 2 by itself is kind and shy but always in the shadow of one. Put them together, or multiple 1s and the only way I can describe them is snowy. But put multiple 2s together and its someone who isn't bad but you're a little tired of. 7 by itself is cool and chill, a short person. But it you put it with something (like in 27 or 37) it makes you squirm and want to leave. 9 is fine but used to be in your friend group and then sort of joined a different one. You still hang out sometimes but you've grown apart. 3 is sort of like seven but a little odder. He is a tall dude with dark brown hair and prominent but sort of off features. You want to hate 4 because they're annoying but they keep actually being important. 5 is sort of like 3 but more like popping bobba (I know that makes no sense but idk how to describe it). 6 is your sort of friend's sporty and nice little sister, who is also a little quirky and is bright colors like yellows and pinks. I also have outfits of mine I associate with every number up to 12, but it would be too hard to describe. Past 12, there is a whole other complicated personality and feeling that I associate with each digit combination as well. Also as I write this I realize that I make no sense whatsoever Wow that turned into a whole big paragraph oop-

    I agree with the vast majority of this, but in my own personal experience with colour>grapheme ideasthesia (perceiving letters, numbers and words as a certain colour) I've found that it isn't completely innate in everyone. Most people I've spoken to about it say they don't have the same innate connection towards graphemes and colours (eg. I've always perceived letters and numbers as specific colours and didn't realise everyone didn't do the same until adulthood. Although they also have a sort of "feeling") I think the difference is 'Interpretation' and 'Perception'. For me letters/numbers and colours have always been the same, rather than interpreting it.

    I have always wondered that myself, but no matter the true color, smell, taste, etc., most people get similar, if not the same impressions from them, usually emotionally derived and based on past experience of the individual (cultural and subjective experience). Which is also interesting, how despite the past upbringing and molding of a person, and even separate societies, we mostly come to the same conclusions as a species, of course with outlying deviations... perhaps the magic lies in those deviations? The fringe elements of society being a place to push boundaries, to grow and to learn something new? Have these been said before? lol

    there's also theories that our qualitative experiences might be far more divergent than just i see green you see red, we could merely have a fixed number of dimensional variances to our qualia and the correlations are just learnt by chance, so for what call "redness" i might call "a high pitch", some synesthetes see morphing physical objects when they hear sounds, they only know this because they preserved _both_ sensory correlations rather than just one. so what we "share" might just be how we nest and relate our categories and not the actual qualia..

    Can anyone help me with this? I’ve had this question my entire life. Whenever i remember some particular event that has happened to me i get this particular feeling. Like I have special emotion for that event only then there is another emotion for another event but I can’t name that emotion. For example, i had a really nice experience in last year’s christmas, so whenever i remember that day i always always get like a happy feeling and it’s the same feeling every time i remember it. The memory of a particular moment brings me a particular feeling but each feeling is different for every memory. I don’t think it’s synesthesia because I don’t associate it with colors or any of that but rather with sort of emotions and i can’t control it. Anyone else? Is this normal?

They evolved in what is really a very specific set of conditions, with fixed physics and chemistry. We actually don't have a way of "getting outside" that world to look at it. Even our imaginations are constrained by time and space. Shopenhauer established this.

    We, the part of our mind that experiences stuff creating the illusion that we are a conscious being located somewhere behind our eyes are not actually thinking, but rather experiencing our thoughts along with all the other sensations which we are aware of, constantly judging and rating them, so that the neural networks whose job it is to abstract sensory information or create impulses/ideas to do or think something can get better at what they are doing.What distinguishes our thoughts from the other sensations, is that they respond immediately to how we rate them. Constantly adjusting. Our consciousness is the equivalent of what you would call a fitness function in machine learning. Without one, a neural network can't learn anything. Any animal with a brain probably has something similar, the main difference being, that they don't have as many layers of abstraction than we do, which are necessary for what we experience as abstract thinking.

    There's no yes or no or black and white for this. It's all on a spectrum. I think you have ideasthesia, but I also think everyone has ideasthesia. It's something everyone does, from the connection of red and stop to kiki and the spiky shape. What's different about these and what you experience is these will be more common for everyone, but yours are probably more unique to you. So yes, there is a name for that, and you are DEFINITELY not alone. The whole Earth shares your experiences to a certain degree.

    I really liked this video and agree with most of what it said, but I believe the underlying point you're trying to make - that this new model of mental function might better explain consciousness - is a bit flawed. I agree that sensory input and ideas are codependent and directly linked. If you point to a cloud in the sky and say "I see a bunny!" that person will probably be able to apply their idea of a bunny to the shape of the cloud and also see the bunny-shape you're talking about. That's all good and well. However, I don't believe this explains our consciousness. The fact that we KNOW that we're thinking about seeing a bunny in the clouds, to me, is true consciousness. We know what we're thinking, and that fact isn't explained away by this new model. This model might explain some of the more taken-for-granted subconscious processes, such as shape recognition, color association, and emotional understanding (empathy, perhaps?), but it does not explain how we can analyze complex scenarios, recite our analysis and every step involved therein, and come to some conclusion about this scenario. Anyway, just my two cents on this video and on this topic in general.

    If to know or to understand are feelings than the how and the explanation are trivial and self evident. The "know" and the "understand" are novel feelings - the knowing and understanding are cultural and personal patterns with interconnections of words and ideas and they are associated with feelings of knowledge or understanding - throw in a social structure and a person scarcely knows what they know or do not know, but readily believes there is something significant and unexplainable about knowing and understanding. They need not be anything other than what they self evidently are.

    No, they can't. They have never experienced sight. Think about it this way: pigeons can perceive electromagnetic waves. It's such an integral part of their existence that they can't imagine living without it. So when they learn about humans, who cannot perceive electromagnetic waves, they think, "Oh, humans can't perceive electromagnetism in real life, but they must at least perceive it in their dreams, right?" Wrong. Humans have NO inkling of an idea what it would be like to perceive electromagnetic waves, so they cannot dream it up even in their subconscious. Assuming blind people can see when dreaming is like assuming humans can perceive electromagnetism when dreaming.

    since nature has the ability to change, animals must have the ability to adapt (change, mostly after some other change not caused by the animal itself). we animals feel the change because of our thoughts, which come from observing, hearing, smelling or tasting, so we can say that 'change', thoughts and senses are directly related. Stimuli-> sensing-> thinking-> feedback. or in other words: problem-> spotting the problem-> processing(thinking)-> solution-> action. Thoughts are directly related with senses, since thoughts require information to be made from.

    I have always felt that 6 and 7 are the cute couple 9 is sassy and smart everyone wants to be with her 8 is jealous of 6 and seven being a couple. I associate 4 with the colour yellow friendly and charming. 2 is a nerd boy and 1 is I don't care person. Do numbers have personalities?? 😂😂😁

    I responded to another comment like this so here is my whole thing with numbers: 8 is the stereotype red-head who has freckles, braces, a big mouth literally and figuratively, who talks too much and is annoying and a bit self-obsessed. 1 by itself is flashy and full of itself, also wears purple eye shadow, and 2 by itself is kind and shy but always in the shadow of one. Put them together, or multiple 1s and the only way I can describe them is snowy. But put multiple 2s together and its someone who isn't bad but you're a little tired of. 7 by itself is cool and chill, a short person. But it you put it with something (like in 27 or 37) it makes you squirm and want to leave. 9 is fine but used to be in your friend group and then sort of joined a different one. You still hang out sometimes but you've grown apart. 3 is sort of like seven but a little odder. He is a tall dude with dark brown hair and prominent but sort of off features. You want to hate 4 because they're annoying but they keep actually being important. 5 is sort of like 3 but more like popping bobba (I know that makes no sense but idk how to describe it). 6 is your sort of friend's sporty and nice little sister, who is also a little quirky and is bright colors like yellows and pinks. I also have outfits of mine I associate with every number up to 12, but it would be too hard to describe. Past 12, there is a whole other complicated personality and feeling that I associate with each digit combination as well. Also as I write this I realize that I make no sense whatsoever I believe it is called OLP (Ordinal Linguistic Personification) and can apply to letters too. It's a type of ideasthesia/synesthesia.

    Thanks, but I mean more specifically in terms of different approaches to the mind-body problem. If the emergence of qualia from a physical system can be explained by the "mechanisms responsible for extracting the semantics of the surrounding world", does this support e.g. a dualist/materialist/functionalist approach to the mind-body problem. This is the kind of information I am trying to glean.

    Ideasthesia suggests that, if one has the ambition to explain qualia by a materialistic (monistic) approach, one has to explain semantics in the same time. The difficulties of understanding semantics are well argued in the J. Searle's Chinese room thought experment. Therefore, according to ideasthesia, the problem of qualia and the problem of semantics are closely related and may be one the same problem.

    Everything is a divine chaos, an unfathomable static on God's TV. Then something comes in and suddenly the static starts turning into patterns. Eventually the patterns get so complex that there are human beings in there just like "WTF, WHO AM I". What's real cool is understanding the fact that every concept, idea, sense, or experience you ever have is through a pattern bigger than your own self. That pattern allows you to construct your idea of the world but it will always be just that - your cute little idea of how things apparently "are".

    while the first part of this video was quite interesting, it was rather ridiculous to see how they desperately tried to sell this "model of the mind" as new, even though what they presented was just a bundle of superficial ideas that partially have been around since kant. the supposed distinction between sensory perception and complex abstract thought had already been dissolved for a good part, when at least 2 decades ago people with certain lesions were discovered, who were selectively unable to recognize, for example, "animate" objects, but retained their intelligence otherwise. this hinted at the fact, that sensory processing involves quite a bit of abstract information. so: nothing new here, just the the dubious term "ideasthesia".

    Does this mean that we cannot experience qualia unless we have certain ideas in our mind to begin with? That sounds a bit too far-fetched, because that would mean that babies who lack any knowledge of the world will have very limited if not nonexistent experiences, something vastly different from the way children and adults experience the world. So if what is being said is that our experiences are completely defined by our ideas, then that sounds too extreme. Perhaps what is being said is that our experiences are to some extent influenced by our ideas. That makes more sense but I'll probably say that the ideas which we associate with certain experiences would conjure up certain other experiences when the former are had instead of influencing the former experience itself. If I associate hot with red, for instance, then I may think and conjure up the idea of a hot experience whenever I see that colour, but that does not mean that my red experience itself feels any different or is in some sense shaped by that association. This doesn't mean that the traditional model of sense data first being processed then interpreted by our brains is wrong, but rather that there is an additional set of sense data conjured up by the way our brains interpret this initial sense data.
