While that may seem a little eerie to most of us, shes. Salinas said he uses mindfulness to stay focused, especially around patients who are suffering from their own injuries and disorders. When a student in a University of Delaware study watched a video of someone elses hand being touched, she felt the touch on her own hand. When I was in his office for the first time, he said, 'How are you?' and I said, 'I'm OK, but I'm anxious.' His response was, 'I know,' " Bob McGrath, Salinas' patients recalled. "He is very much in tune with how you're feeling and how those feelings change over time. Later, he was tested for mirror-touch and confirmed he had it. It wasn't until his first year of medical school that he learned about synesthesia. "Even in high school, I saw a lot of fights, and that was tough." Coyote, and if he got hit by a truck, I got hit by a truck," he said. While growing up, Salinas always sensed that he was a little different and could feel the emotional and physical sensations of others as a kid. The first case of mirror-touch synesthesia was reported in 2005. If you're having a panic attack, I feel like I'm having a panic attack," he said. For example, if you are gasping for air, I feel like I'm gasping for air. "It's essentially a glitch in my brain's wiring where I feel physically on my body what I see other people feeling.
and after that I ran to the bathroom and threw up," Salinas was quoted as saying by CNN. As he died, I felt this kind of hollow slipping sensation. and as this is going on, I'm feeling the compressions on my chest as if it were happening on my body. Salinas has mirror-touch synesthesia, a neurological trait that affects two out of 100 people. We suggest this meets the criteria for synesthesia, despite the proximal causal mechanisms remaining largely unknown, and that the tendency to localize vicarious sensory experiences distinguishes it from other kinds of seemingly related phenomena (e.g., non-localized affective responses to observing pain).New York : Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital can literally feel the emotional and physical sensations of his patients. In this account, MTS is a symptom of a broader cognitive profile. This can be construed in terms of over-extension of the bodily self in to others, or as difficulties in the control of body-based self-other representations. Some examples of synesthesia are: Seeing colorful music notes when you hear music. Examples Of Synesthesia The kinds of synesthetic experiences someone has depends on their type of synesthesia. The Self-Other Theory explains MTS in terms of disturbances in the ability to distinguish the self from others. Mirror-touch synesthesia - when someone else touches something, you feel what they would feel. This offers a good account for some of the evidence (e.g., from fMRI) but fails to explain the whole pattern (e.g., structural brain differences outside of this system performance on some tests of social cognition). The Threshold Theory explains MTS in terms of hyper-activity within a mirror system for touch and/or pain. This paper considers two different, although not mutually exclusive, theoretical explanations and, in the final section, considers the relation between MTS and other forms of synesthesia and also other kinds of vicarious perception (e.g., contagious yawning). Mirror-touch synesthesia (MTS) is the conscious experience of tactile sensations induced by seeing someone else touched.
