For the time being. At some point, relatives began to notice that Dipty perceives the world around us differently than other people. For example, she even blindfolded can accurately determine the color of the object, bringing it to his face. But not to try to see through the tissue covering the eyes, no. And in order to ... sniff! Moreover, Dipty can even read without opening her eyes. She just runs her finger over the paper - and feels like the skin of a letter. But this is not a braille font, it is a regular newspaper for the sighted. Or even a note scratched right there on a piece of paper.
Deepti Regmi, a unique girl, on the leftPhoto: facebook.com/deepti.regmi.33For the first time, Deepti realized that she had a special gift a year ago. The girl was not scared. On the contrary, she began to develop her ability. “Despite her very young age, Deepti feels her responsibility to society,” said the journalist who tested the girl’s talent on camera. “She wants to help visually impaired people, because it will be much easier for them to live if they can develop a similar skill.” The girl’s parents are delighted. Not only is Deepti unique, but she is also an excellent student. Relatives believe that Deepti’s ability is nothing more or less than a divine gift. Scientists, however, think a little differently. Science calls people like the Nepalese unique person synesthetes. Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon due to which people perceive objects not only with their obvious characteristics, but also attribute their own to them. They can see sounds, smell colors, and taste numbers. The brain of synesthetes works in such a way that the sensations experienced by one organ cause a response not only in the part of the brain responsible for, for example, vision, but also in the neighboring one. Responsible for the sense of smell, for example. So it turns out that for a person, color also acquires a smell: blue can smell like nuts, and red - like candies.
