neat article! I find where at the end, where they think we are having synthasia (sp) with certain sensory stimuli and pain, to be an interesting explanation. I know that the stimuli of a crowd of people which the sound of ppl randomly talking, rushing, foot steps and the blur of seeing motion really overstimulates me...its like I feel all this energy and it is whirling around me. Meltdowns, or shut downs, which ever happens first, are eminent. I wonder if the all the noise and visual blur of people, I perceve as energy, or if I am just hypersensitive to the personal energy of other people, and you get alot of people...that mass energy is overpowering?
thanks for sharing!
