The "walking corpse syndrome" or the "Cotard's Delusion"
People with Cotard’s syndrome believe that they have either died or been mutilated in some improbable manner such as having all of their blood drained or their organs removed. Yet other patients show delusions of immortality.
The condition is most common among schizophrenics and people who’ve suffered head trauma. In one famous case, a young man who hit his head in a motorcycle accident in Scotland left the hospital convinced he was dead from either septicemia or AIDS. Shortly afterward, when his mother took him to South Africa, he came to believe that his soul had been sent to hell.

Synesthesia
This neurological phenomenon occurs when stimulation of one sense leads to involuntary experiences in another sense or a “union of the senses,” where for example taste and sound are joined together. Some people experience color when they hear sounds or read words and may be able to answer a question like "What color is A?"
