[harel]

Great analogy to hashing. I call it "seeing in concept instead of visuals" but hashing works better for facial recognition :)

In regards to music - for me it's the opposite. I can't visualise to save my life, but I can compose an entire symphony in my head and hear it in all it's glory. Or "perform" any accent I've heard before perfectly in my head (of course it won't ever come out even close to how I hear it internally if I try to actually speak it).
