I have recently came upon this different way of the brain and thought it has some funny uses but i can't seem to pin point what it gives on vsbattle terms

For starters, Google says the following;
Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. Some examples include tasting words or linking colors to numbers and letters. It’s not a medical condition, and many people find it useful to help them learn and remember information.

My friend said that in his opinion it would be some self perception manip as your brain is messing with your senses to feel stuff differently

Auditory-tactile synesthesia​

This form of synesthesia means that sounds cause you to feel touch-based sensations, such as temperature changes, pressure or pain.

Day-color synesthesia​

Some people see or associate certain colors with days of the week. This is one of the more common forms of synesthesia.

Grapheme-color synesthesia​

“Grapheme” is the word for the smallest part of a written language, like a letter, number or symbol. Some people see different graphemes with specific colors. People who experience visual synesthesia’s projection effect often see graphemes as different colors.

Hearing-motion synesthesia​

Some people experience sounds related to seeing things moving. An example of this would be a person hearing a “whoosh” sound when watching something go past them.

Mirror-touch synesthesia​

Mirror-touch synesthesia is when you see something happen to someone else and physically feel it, too. It works similarly to the reflexive cringe you might have if you see someone trip and face-plant in front of you. However, the effect is much stronger.

Some people can watch another person being touched on the arm or hand and they also feel it. Other people can actually feel pain that others describe or pain from visible injuries. This form is more likely to be disruptive if it causes you to feel pain as a secondary effect.

Sound-color synesthesia​

Sound-color synesthesia is where you see specific colors when you hear certain sounds. It tends to be specific to certain sounds or music. Musicians and artists often describe having this form.

Time-space synesthesia​

This is a form of synesthesia where you visualize things in a very specific way. People who have this form of synesthesia often “see” sequences with specific patterns or forms. An example of this is visualizing a calendar or a string of numbers in a certain way. Some people can mentally “map” these out in vivid or detailed ways.
