Ability to:	See sound waves as colorful light
Examples of enhanced synesthesia

Enhanced synesthesia is the ability to visualize sound waves and see them as colorful light waves.

Characters

• Emma Coolidge is the only character known to have this ability naturally. (Ink)
• Peter Petrelli has replicated it. (Hysterical Blindness)

Limits

Emma has the ability to see a myriad of beautiful colors from prominent noises such as the shattering of a coffee mug and the notes coming from a cello played by someone else.

It also seems that she was able to play the cello very beautifully after picking it up. She looked surprised at the cello showing that either she had never played a cello or seen the colors while playing the cello.

Emma's ability can be used offensively by using loud enough sounds to shoot out concussive blasts of light (Hysterical Blindness).

Selected Examples

• 
  Emma sees flashes of light when water drips...
• 
  ...and continuous waves of light when a cellist plays a song.
  (Ink)
• 
  When the cellist leaves, Emma plucks the cello's strings, seeing more streams of light.
  (Ink)
• 
  Emma sees a police siren emitting red waves of light...
• 
  ...and also beams of light when a jackhammer is turned on.
  (Hysterical Blindness)
• 
  Peter kicks a can and sees color when it creates sound...
• 
  ...he also sees the sound created by a young choir.
  (Hysterical Blindness)
• The light waves produced somehow cause the walls to shatter. (Hysterical Blindness)

Notes

• Heroes Interactive for Ink says that Emma's power is "a form of synesthesia".
