Absence of Sense

Whilst looking into Anosmia (the inability to smell)  from my brainstorm, I found some more interesting conditions and their names to do with senses.

• Anosmia is the complete loss of ones ability to smell
• Hyposmia is a partial loss of ones ability to smell
• Ageusia is the complete loss of ones ability to taste
• Hypogeusia is the partial loss of ones ability to taste
• Parosmia is a condition were ones sense of smell is distorted or where one smells certain odours that are not present, i.e. Phantom odours
• Dusgeusia is a condition were ones tastes abnormal phantom tastes.

I also discovered something called Synesthesia where the brain confuses stimuli taken in through sense and triggers a reaction another sense. For example you might listen to a piece of music and get a certain taste in your mouth or see colours that your brain relates to the music. Some people also perceive letters, numbers or words to have specific colours.

I think any of these would be interesting to try and recreate for everyone to experience. But again maybe I am being to ambitious.
