I doubt it's exploding head syndrome because I see the light even while fully awake with my eyes closed. EHS seems to be related to sleep while what I see occurs whenever I hear an unexpected noise. I have had multiple eye surgeries in the last 2 years. This is when it started. I know what a detached retina flash looks like. This is much different. It's more like a Blue flash of light that is on my eyelids. Very interesting guys! [link to en.wikipedia.org] According to Richard Cytowic, sound → color synesthesia, or chromesthesia is "something like fireworks": voice, music, and assorted environmental sounds such as clattering dishes or dog barks trigger color and firework shapes that arise, move around, and then fade when the sound ends.[3] For some, the stimulus type is limited (e.g., music only, or even just a specific musical key); for others, a wide variety of sounds triggers synesthesia. |
